Since when did people do not like Java? And still it is the most widely used computer language? And how many people like Ruby, Python by the way? Hype is indeed stranger than reality. You should choose languages and platforms that fit the t

The best dynamic code compiler out there is Java Hotspot VM. Your demonstrations are just based on Python runtime. Please do a comparison with Java Hotspot for credibility.

Very exciting initial results. The JVM simply is the most optimized runtime available right now. And Java is the dynamic language with best performance. Can't fail to notice Ruby is the slowest even on JVM. If you continue on this path and

I think one of the fundamental issues here is how the programmer views OO as a programming methodology alone. OO is more a collaboration tool which helps large teams come up with complex functionality. The architect or lead designer comes u

Very right. It is about how you think in terms of OO. If you feel the problem space cannot be modeled easily, just don't go for OO. That said, many problem spaces are amenable to OO thinking. But some are not (especially the ones that deal

Just use polymorphic associations (weak linking) wherever you want to enable code reuse and the implementation is not tightly linked to the class hierarchy. It is about how you think in terms of OO.

One of the fundamental principles of OO is go for interface inheritance(design) as opposed to class inheritance(implementation). Better way to enable code reuse is through association. That is why languages like Java do not allow multiple c

The point is - OO was developed for managing complexity of large projects which were using procedural model at the time. Large teams found it easy to work in the OO paradigm as each component could be abstracted down to a facade they need t

No - only few Ericsson ones are written in Erlang. Most use C++ and few softswitches use Java.

Have you ever worked on a project with millions of lines of code which is supposed to work together as a single piece? That is where OO is required. OO works when you design your system to be composed of blackbox components. Right level of

"UCS-2 (2-byte Universal Character Set) is a character encoding that was superseded by UTF-16 in version 2.0 of the Unicode standard in July 1996". Java adopted UCS-2 which was later supplemented with UTF-16 support. There are at least a fe

"Great prototypes are written in dynamic languages, but the lasting replacement will be written in a dull typed language like Java/C++/C#" That is the gist.

There is a language called 'Java' where every string is in unicode, and I do not remember ever running into an issue!

There are few concerns: 1) It is likely that the exception is non recoverable, from the place it occurred and may need to be wound back multiple levels 2) Runtime that defensively handle exceptions as specified at every point will need to k

Why only HTML, CSS, JS, PHP? It should be replacing also the recent fads Ruby, Python, Haskell, Clojure and god knows what else. It is high time we have single, elegant solutions. Stacks are so yesterday!

This is most welcome. Hope they continue to support this effort. We need more light weight approaches in established languages like Java.

These days I do not code a website to begin with. I create web services(REST/JSON) first and then code a native app to access it if my use case fits mobile better. If I need a website, then I implement it by calling the same web services. I

If we really need neat, clean implementations, why not avoid scripting languages altogether and go for structured, type safe languages? The developer needs to be much more learned and experienced, but in the end would the code will be high

First touch with computer - on an IBM PC AT in 1984. Did the first program in BASIC then. Regular programming started on an Intel Pentium/Linux in 1995. Pascal, C, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Objective C, Shell Script etc. Never been out of
