   I agree, "blatant absurdity" is quite a strong wording. I should've wrote "quite dubious" or the like. In my defense, I didn't even think of having a language with type coercion and 0 operator overloading (even

   I agree with some the things he writes, but others seem blatant absurdities: > "the + operator is still both numeric addition and string concatenation. That is frequently listed as one of the bad parts of JavaScript. Why no provide

   Yes and yes (it's probably arguable though: you need to export symbols to avoid getting them mangled by the google closure compiler) But since the author dismissed Dart due to not being "true to javascript", I doubt that he&#

   How can a JRuby (or Clojure, or Jython...) REST api trigger a vulnerability in the Java reflection? I was always under the impression that such kind of vulnerabilities were only a problem for Java applets (where the sandbox is actually impo

   There's not a bijection between UTC time and "standard unix timestamps" due to leap seconds if you encode TAI in a unix timestamp, this would be a solved problem, but due to the fact that you cannot encode the time zone in th

    Well, you can see how it works "under the hood"... not being ashamed of what they are/their works. I kinda understand the rationale for that picture (I'm wondering how hard it would be to draw "open standard" i

    You cannot do that right away unless you have enough reputation (I've been bitten by it, and it's terribly frustrating) btw, I agree that such behavior is actually positive: more thoroughly researched answers are a plus, not a dow

    Cyclone has been dead since years (the last release is dated 5 May 2006) It never compiled on 64bit architectures, and to get it to compile with 4.0 or 4.1 (newer versions of gcc won't work) you need to fetch it from SVN (last commit i
