Graal is Oracle Labs. Their research arm.

Nashorn is still actively developed.

I don’t think that matters in the context of the JavaScript trademark. Within the context of the trademark Oracle does have business developing and selling JavaScript.

I think it’s kind of sad that you would have that opinion. Are the engineers working on OpenJdk completely lacking of morals? How does working for Oracle compare to say working at Facebook or Google with all their privacy invasion tech?

by vips7L 1y ago
I honestly don’t see how those equate.

Oracle develops, maintains, and sells 2 different JavaScript runtimes. They’re definitely using it.

It’s a huge company with different divisions. Oracle is one of the leading researchers in JIT compilers, garbage collectors, and language interpreters.

Ah right I forgot, they’re rendezvous queues right? I guess I’m confused why you would need an in memory queue as a service then.

Does Go not have a built in concurrent queue?

Yes let’s keep moving the goal post.

> How you can say that imessage is any “better” is a complete mystery to me. We’re literally in a thread about being served ads in WhatsApp.

by vips7L 1y ago
That literally means nothing when it comes to determining which is the better platform.
613.
by vips7L 1y ago
Just another reason iMessage is coming out on top.

Contrary, I couldn’t wait to leave LA. I regretted moving there as soon as I did and I’m much happier now that I left.

Aren't the syscalls a constant moving target? Didn't even Microsoft fail at keeping up with them in WSL?

Foundation and Earth (the last of the sequels) had some good sections. Like when they visited the Spacer worlds and the mystery around Earth. But in the end that mystery just fell flat. I personally felt like the worst part was the dialog b

He didn’t want to write them. Gnome Press owned the original series and he didn’t get any royalties for them. In 1961, his current publisher Doubleday acquired them and for 20 years he told them no to writing more Foundation books. In 1981

A little off topic but I just finished Asimov’s “Foundation and Earth”. I’m so mad at him for tying it back to his Robots series. It completely diminishes the entire Foundation series.

> They already admit in the article that JVM setup costs were a huge overhead during scaling operations. JIT might also incur a similar overhead at the same stage. Yeah the startup costs are an active problem. I do think though that if t

I don’t think anyone actually believes that the language change is what made the difference in that post. As far as anyone can tell there were 2 things that made their rewrite better: 1. They had experience on the type of app and you tend t

Just because it’s supported (receives security updates) doesn’t mean that it isn’t still an ancient and antiquated runtime. Java 11 was released almost 8 years ago. That is thousands of commits and performance improvements behind the latest

Reference counting is a form of garbage collection.

Yes. You can just run java myfile.java

by vips7L 1y ago
Yes I'm well aware, but that is uniquely a Java problem. With a sufficiently strong type system, like the one in Scala, you can easily make checked exceptions work across higher order functions.

You don’t know how it works and are commenting on it?? Peak HN.

Beyond happy Java made that decision as well.

This just anecdotal evidence of your one client. Every statistic I’ve seen shows that at least half is on a runtime > 8, with most in that half being on 17 or 21. My entire company runs on 21 and will be moving to 25 when it’s out.

You don’t need an IDE for Java either. You can use vscode or neovim, the language server will work just fine. I’ve done both, but eventually moved back to idea (with ideavim).
