Even Sun Can't Use Java
cowmix writes "It turns out that Sun does not eat its own dog food. Specifically, this
internal memo from Sun strongly
suggests that Java should not be used for Sun's internal projects.
More interesting still, they go on to state which other languages
fullfil Java's goals better than Java does itself. Finally, the
memo states Sun's own Solaris is the cause of many of Java's woes. Yikes."
people spend far more time chattering about java than using software written with it...
maybe because talking about is the only field where java and c/c++ have the same performances.
99% of corporations work as intended. They maximize profit for the shareholders and provide services like food, cars and this nice Internet we all enjoy. The exceptions are dealt with swiftly, usually by the stock market before the police. Communism gets millions of people killed, the latest example being Mugabe's idiot regime. Communism caused an ecological disaster all through Europe and Asia. (What capitalist country has broken nuclear submarines beached and leaking radioactive doodoo into the arctic ocean?) In fact, Communism in ALL its implementations to date is a horror. Go and read, young man.
Python is dog-slow compared to C++, inherently. Implying that it somehow isn't, or even worse, that it can be faster, or still worse, that it can be massively faster, strikes me as silly.
He didn't say Python is faster than C++, he said an app he wrote in Python was faster than a really badly written older version of the app that had been written by somebody else who didn't know what they were doing in C++. Yes, this is possible.
Mozilla 1.21 is much faster than Mozilla 0.7, and they're written in the same language. Why do you suppose that is?

You are kidding, right? You don't really believe that site.
I believe a lot of what is on that site. Would you like to discuss it with me? Most people seem content to mock and slander me and avoid answering my questions.
resident Mbeki's credibility suffered a huge blow after his statement that AIDS wasn't caused by HIV.
Of course it did. Anyone who doubts the gospel, holy truth of "HIV==AIDS" suffers for it. Just like religious dissenters of the past were persecuted by the church for doubting the sacred, holy doctrine.
Why is AIDS called an "epidemic" when it doesn't follow epidemic patterns?
Who isolated HIV?
What is the history of AZT? What are its side effects?
What is the correlation between amyl nitrate "poppers" and Kaposi's Sarcoma?
How many times has the list of "associated AIDS diseases" changed since the inceptions of the "HIV==AIDS" hypothesis?
All of these are valid questions. And every time I ask them, I get attacked for it. It seems that the "HIV==AIDS" camp is afraid of the answers, and rightly so.
AID$ is an industry, not a disease. Why else would there be such ma$$ive funding with a handful of sufferers?
I don't make the rules. I just make fun of them.
Clearly you've never actually seen what real fascism is like.
