Arithmetic aside, the byte-code is set in stone. It's even interpreted on silicon now on ARM processors with jazella. It's going to be an incredibly difficult effort to ever add unsigned types truly to Java without it effectively becoming a

Of course I was speaking in generalities because these sites tailor to the tech community. Every single effort helps but the user base here has a lot of coverage already. We really need to get the big tech companies to put the general publi

What are you talking about? There is no GC in iOS 5. The only GC in the Objective-C world is the one on the Mac and it's pretty much the off the shelf Boehm one. The only thing iOS has is ARC. This is a compile time reference counting solut

This isn't really correct. When you say AppStore you have to make a distinction between Mac and iOS. As a platform, iOS doesn't allow you to bundle any dynamically linked libraries with your application (so everything everyone ships on iOS

I agree on the `estr' idea. I agree that it "punishes you" when you want to try and deal with byte strings. It really gets in the way with handling decoding and encoding of email.
