Not sure what you mean by "web scrapper" than, but if you just need something to download web pages (in addition to parsing HTML), then Requests.jl covers it pretty well. IIUC from GitHub page, AWS.jl has most API implemented, jus

1. Speed in iterative algorithms. 2. (Almost) painless concurrency. 3. Symbolic programming right in the language (think of SymPy built in the language). 4. Closeness to Matlab (which makes it easy to translate existing code). In general, p

Ah, yeah, I remember discussion about this, but didn't know about its result (I'm not active Java developer for some time now). Anyway, I think you've got an idea - immutability assumption may be pretty useful and improve per

Intagram's website is small? Ok, so show me the large one written in Java. But let's agree: this should really be web site/web interface, not some back-end service in large distributed system like Twitter or LinkedIn, because

> The main consideration is the tradeof between performance(best for mutability) vs ease of use of development (best for immutability) No, no, no. Immutable data structures are not actually inefficient, they are just different. They were

Sorry, but both of these benchmarks are terrible. First link compares run time of the whole programs, including start-up time, time for parsing file and printing out resulting matrix. I'm pretty sure matrix multiplication was the faste

Yes, it looks like these guys were not pretty honest. I had similar challenge (one week "test" assignment that was a part of a bigger project), but I was paid for my time and then continued to work with employer. But don't be upset - if the
