Then we agree, I think. My point is that it is quite possible, even easy, to describe experiences with a language ("It was easier to communicate in Spanish in Madrid"). But it is rather pointless to debate languages in isolation ("Spanish v

I'm not sure meaningful comparisons of programming languages are even possible. It's a bit like asking if English is better than Spanish. What you can do is compare experiences using a given language. E.g. "Our project using language N we

Now, the only really big thing missing from the JVM seems to be proper tail call optimisation. Does anyone know the status of that?

Just a short time ago I heard a couple of interviews with people who worked in Spanish radio stations during the Franco dictatorship. They described all the inane rules they had to follow to appease the censors: songs that contained any hin

> My bet is that they know what they're doing. Apple has become a company that stands for censorship. I hate to be associated with that. The fact that the censorship is a conscious decision by Apple makes it even worse.

How times have changed. A Reuters executive told me, many years ago (quoting from my less than stellar memory): "Let me tell you, son, this internet thing will only be really important in the pornography business."

I have a feeling that this kind of pricing has more to do with lack of competition than with lack of capacity... That said, Sweden is quite ok. At least during summer.

I pay 150SEK, or $20, a month for 100MBit/s (and the fixed cost for fixed telephone). No cap (as far as I'm aware).

If this was true, we should be seeing bandwidth becoming more expensive. At least here in Sweden, the opposite seems to be true: prices seem to continue to fall. And for the idea that we will someday hit a "capacity ceiling" to be true, pri
