How I hope it works is that the "PDF mark-up" can be exported as a PDF. This would allow me to insert papers/reports, comment on them and then send them back to students. What I can't do is upload these documents to the

These are not the reasons I like Java at all (I still use Java 8). My reasons are: 1. C-like language - Flip between C, C++, Java and JS with minimal thinking about syntax. 2. Build once - I can build locally and deploy the byte code straig

I don't disagree there is a cost trade-off. I still can't help but feel there should be a solution. Of course as tech people we think "AI". I know there has been some work on chat bots to "help" with this, but
