Please note that this survey has been done by a Java community website. I strongly suspect that other sites, like Hacker News for example, would generate different results with a different leading language.

Scala was easy for people like me who took a compiler design class given by Odersky at EPFL. We actually wrote a compiler for a simplified version of Scala. I would have never thought to see that language again after university. (That was a

According to MacWorld, the exact release time is 10am Pacific Standard (Which would be 1800 GMT and still be within the time interval 'today'.) Patience.

Yes, the benefit is largest for iPad users. There's AirPlay for iPhones though (If you use it). And, independent from the iOS version, the Find-My-Phone functionality now for free. Which was, before, the only reason I was even considering p

That's the one feature that's definitly missing from Safari. (Safari only just now learned to re-open the last tab with Command-Z. All the other tabs you'll have to search for yourself in the recently closed pages-menu.)

In my last four jobs, only one company managed to get me my login and email passwords on the first day. Once, I actually quit my job before I had access to all the systems I needed (I used the accounts of my superior for a long time.) So ye

I like the subtle UI elements: Depending on which browser you're using, the the order of the list of instruction changes. The non-javascript version of the page looks great too. (And moves the noscript-instruction to the bottom.)
