CPAN Shifts Focus

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the java-means-quality-if-you're-on-crack dept.

cascadefx writes "Looks like CPAN has changed its focus to support Java now. A look at their page shows that is is now CJAN, the Comprehensive Java Archive Network where you will find all things Java." This should be a great boon to Java, a language renown for, well, sucking. But at the expense of the greatest of all languages? It's just too sad for me to express in words. I mean, who uses java anyway?

  1. Who uses java. by duffbeer703 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People who like to develop large distributed applications written by multiple people easy to understand.

    Slashcode is/was a perfect example of how easy it is to make Perl unreadable.

  2. About April fool's day and complaints on Slashdot. by JFMulder · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You guys must have really nothing to do on April fool's day if the only thing you have to do is come to slashdot and bitch and moan about the April Fool's joke CmdrTaco is running. If you don't like them, stop coming to Slashdot today. Come back tomorrow. Nobody will miss you I'm sure. As for the moderators who spend times modding down pro-april-foolscomments and modding up anti-april-fools commentes, get a f**king life. I unchecked the "Willing to Moderate" because moderators like you rated waste mod points on stupid posts and keep modding up crap. What's the point of modding up somthing to +5 insightfull if some other idiot mods up a fart joke +5 funny?
