Analysis of Google Dart
An anonymous reader writes "Google's new language landed with a loud thud, causing lots of interesting debates about the best place to stick semicolons... An article [in InfoQ] ... looks at some of the less discussed features. Snapshots seem to bring something like Smalltalk images and allow instant startup of applications (something Java has spent the last 15 years not delivering). Isolates are like OS processes and communicate with message passing — and as the article suggests, can fix the problem of Garbage Collection pauses by splitting up the heap (sounds like Erlang). There's more, mostly about features that remove some dynamic behavior in order to make startup and code analysis easier. Maybe Dart is worth a second look?"
1 == false
Yeah, everything except for true evaluates to false.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
I have a little hint for you . . .
You're uglier than all of them.
Did we strike a nerve?
Forgive us if the lack of a promise from Sun/Oracle to implement it didn't stop us from feeling it was necessary for startup times to be quicker than that of a slug crossing a freeway.
Many girls are worth a second look, but each time I try, they're still as ugly as they were...
I can't grasp girl analogies... can you please come with a car one?
Questions raise, answers kill. Raise questions to stay alive.
Xbox Live much, bro?
