As an Open Source advocating, anti-MS, java fanboy, I agree completely. C# the language blows java out of the water. I give MS a lot of respect for really evolving the language. I do think, however, that the JVM is much more advanced than

Does...this article have e thesis? Or is this just sort of an overview of stuff...

Thanks for this! Looks like a great language. Its a shame it targets the CLR and Mono is so crippled. If it was on the JVM, looks like a serious competitor to Scala with some distinct advantages (! operator for sure) along with a little s

Will you guys be able to support all isolation levels?

Oracle doesn't even support repeatable read (which seems weird to me). Read Commited should be doable in their system.

I misspoke, I should have said 'many-core'. Yes, you're probably right that no respectable database is going to have a problem with lock contention on 16 cores. But, AMD released 12 core processors this week. Its likely we'll see the av

Interesting, I haven't gotten to hear the thoughts of too many other telecom engineers when it comes to next generation languages and threading. I'm pretty convinced it has to be one of the hardest problems to get right. Speaking of STM an

But the lack of locking is potentially big for multicore applications.

"Google was never forced to do anything." Lol wut. You need to think about what you're saying. Go "not doing anything" they would be serving up whatever content their algorithm deems relevant. Its 'censoring' that is doing something, and

I'm really not sure Actors are the silver bullet. I write telcom software, and its just as easy to get a deadlock (ok maybe a little harder) using Actors than traditional locking.

So someone in the software industry, if things didn't work out at Garmin, there are many other high paying software jobs in Olathe?

Err, the first question we should be asking you is "why don't you have a mortgage". Unless you were given a house and have a chest full of gold bars, you are probably living off the income of interest, so you're still paying income taxes. G

BJ Penn (now a UFC champion) trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 4 years before he won the world championships. Most people take 8-10 years to receive a black belt, and then a year or two to become competitive on the world level. I don't th

What if the main character was some karate-prodigy that didn't know it until he found his master? This is not completely unheard of.

I thought Jonathan's vision of Open Source was pretty interesting. He may not have had time to implement his vision, and he was handed a brilliant but broken company to work with. I've followed his blog closely for the last few years, and I

Interestingly enough, this report contradicts a lot of what the WSJ recently claimed. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870454100457501... The report makes no mention of Livermore labs, I wonder if there is a significance in th

I think your analysis is correct, but all of of your criticisms are most likely fixable. They may need lots of tweaking, but overall the concept is solid!

Having a large user base is not an indication of technical authority. Myspace had (and still does to a lesser extent) extremely large user base, and we know they had some stability issues (Honestly though, I've listened to their tech presen

Really? You mean like their ultra-reliable chat server they wrote? Or maybe the way their replication works, so when you post things get out of order depending on what server you are looking at?

I wish someone would invent some sort of C-like language that wasn't as complicated. Maybe it could even compile itself on the fly to machine code to continually optimize itself!

Facebook's lack of engineering prowess continually amazes me. There were quite a few other options aside from writing a translator.

The primary barrier to entry for me in almost all programing languages were not the language constructs, but the libraries. Considering you can use any java class in Scala or Clojure, I find them fairly easy to migrate to (though clojure is
