Java is a safer language? Just having a Java interpretor installed on your system opens you up to untold security threats. Honestly, it sounds a lot more like the majority of the software people on this project simply liked/knew Java,

I teach a game programming club for kids in grade 6-8 I'm split on scratch. On the surface it was easy to get the kids to engage, but I didn't really feel it led to much understanding of programming as a whole. And it did not seem

You attack my surety but the passive-aggressive tone of your comment gives me good reason to suspect that you are also quite sure of your stance. I would also wager you would be less likely to change your position when offered new and compe

With FOSS software, an enterprising and capable individual always has the ability to modify/update/or other wise change the software to suit their needs. I find your line of thought to hold little weight.

I'm not sure why you list Google as using "8000 computers" and Spark using "190 computers with 6080 cores". Using two different metrics for two like things seems like there is some sort of implication there. Were Go
