The usual cliche about Italians. I would like to remember HN's audience that Italy is the 2nd manifacturing nation in EU and that a big share of our GDP depends on engineering products and services: https://atlas.media.mit.e

Ok so this means that calls accross compilation units always incur an indirection, right? Also I don't get how swapping the whole compilation unit can be achieved atomically. A compilation unit might be composed by several functions. W

I didn't experience most of the points above but I completely agree on the very bad match of skills vs job: that happened to me just a couple of months ago.

In my experience they used to be extremely accurate until 1-2 years ago. I believe that in the last two yers companies are beginning to pay more attention and try to do the possible to overcome bad reviews. I agree on the complete lack of c

I agree that checked exceptions enforce clarity however I absolutely disagree on the fact that the exception should be managed immediatly. Usually exceptions can and must be managed at different levels of the call stack depending on their o

My point was not about peformances but rather about embedding. CL performances are good and toghether with interactive development these are the main selling points. It's a compiled programming language that feels like a scripting lang

I agree: CL is a wonderful language but you have to embrace the whole environment/philosophy if you want to adopt it. And the language is not so easy to embed which prevents many "enterprise"/application development use

You are underestimating italian talent. Italy is fully of hungry minds and determined people and that applies even more in Naples where opportunities are scarce.

You couldn't summarize it better. I'll second every point you have made. Experienced the same attitude, same code quality and have the same opinion about cost effectiveness.

It's very interesting to compare some extracts taken from a similar thread that apparead some time ago about Uber being temporarly banned in Italy to the tone in the comments here: "Innovation almost always sidestep regulations,

Again, let me reiterate that BBC and in general British press are often biased against Italy. These are the facts: all the scientists have been absolved. The only person convicted has been the vice-president of the civil protection for dec
