... Even if there is a couple of seconds wait at startup, the JIT compiler means a well written app will run without being appreciably slower than a "native" app once the JVM is bootstrapped.
Startup time is not a problem if you're always running Java. Running an applet from HotJava was very fast... I'm sure startup time was terrific on JavaOS and JavaStations as well.
I ported a CloudScape DDL to Oracle once upon a time. Since CloudScape is so standards compliant it was very easy.
Those who administer J2EE applications resist new databases. Having an embedded one like this is a selling point since it leads to lower maintenance costs. Maybe.
OCAML is much more expressive and safer than C++. Think of it as always programming in templates. It has an IDE too called Cameleon. I guess the one thing it lacks from your feature set is operator overloading.
It is not Fannie May's intention to provide their employees with marketable skills, but rather to be competent using the tools at hand to accomplish their jobs.
Microsoft will not be making a charitable contribution to Fannie May. Microsoft will certainly not be making training available to Fannie May personnel for free either.
Any of the large consulting houses such as PriceWaterhouseCoopers or Anderson Consulting (now called something else) would be happy to take Fannie May's money in return for technical training.
What a complicated technology. Imagine creating a disposible paper that generates its own electricty from ambiant radiation and has some user interface for changing its content. It all seems rather plodding compared to the lovely data glasses/. reported on a few months ago.
I think what will happen is everyone will be wearing data glasses fused with gpsr or some other broadband packet radio technology. The glasses will look like very dark sunglasses when you are jacked in.
You may find yourself talking to a group and gradually all the glasses will get darker.
I can see how adding symbolic links at such a late date to a 600 million line operating system would take 1.5 years, especially considering that they would have to verify that MS Office uses them correctly and that they had to build all that other stuff for hashing and such...
But the article had a scary bit about IPv6:
Still a third contribution was the System and Networking Group's work on the Internet Protocol Version 6 or IPv6, a new Internet protocol that promises to greatly expand the number of IP addresses available on the Internet. Microsoft researchers have been working with the Internet standards body known as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to develop the standard and have developed a prototype for Windows 2000 that can be downloaded from the Microsoft Research Web site.

Yes. Source patches is what is needed. Silly me.
/usr/portage there are a lot of bzipped patch files so clearly something like this is going on.
For example, the set of patches needed to take us from mozilla 1.1 to mozilla 1.2 is much smaller than sending the entire source ball.

It works beautifully but I can't help but think it is a waste of bandwidth.

There are lots of indicators that this was going to happen. A particularly good chart of this is quarterly working capital.

ToonTalk seems more appropriate for younger would-be programmers.
"ToonTalk is a video game for making video games."
"It's an animated world where kids can make, run, debug, and trade programs."
But what really gets me excited is "ToonTalk is an interpreter for a concurrent constraint programming language"
Apparently once you've assembled your game it will automatically translate it into a Java applet. Wow!
