you'll likely be programming in a handful of different languages. pick one editor (vim || emacs), become a guru in it and you will be able to sling code efficiently in any environment with any language.
so a prof is saying that because it is more difficult for his beginning students to use java as opposed to other web offerings, java is not a good choice for building enterprise web applications?
what insight does this give into real-world development?...i think none.
don't worry about getting people to sign stuff. just get it in an e-mail, that's all you need. e-mails have been used in court, if your bosses are telling you to 'get it done' vs. 'get it done right', just get clarification in an e-mail and make sure they respond. its that simple.
you're exactly right. this has been solved before. since it's not the gay-90s i suggest you look at an application server or corba or some other proven distributed solution.
instead of worrying about connection pools, socket protocols and the like you could do something 'nutty' like solving business problems....just an idea.
i don't know what it is about the ppl that post here. maybe you've got your own little world mastered (be it perl, C kernel hacking or whatever) but you think you are experts on everything....kinda weird.
anyways, i'm doing some web-services stuff at work using M$ MapPoint mapping (web-) services (http://mappoint.net). there are a few kinks to work out but it seems to be a good fit. we're pretty much a java, j2ee (webLogic) shop.
if you've done any geo-coding it's a pain to get all the data on cds, load it into some database, slap some sort of server on top of it (3rd party or in house), etc... it's a lot easier to just call a web service.
yeah, just as i was victim of a goatse.cx re-direct via yahoo someone will have to sneak in some goatse.cx into any meeting. maybe on a t-shirt hidden under a jacket???...otherwise it just wouldn't have that slashdot feel.
i have used python in production environments since 1997, i use java for the most part right now. i have NEVER had a problem with tabs messing up the flow/ parsing of my code in python.
some of your points are valid but the same can be said about assembler; a human can write better assembler than GCC.
i guess it comes down to if you want to program to satisfy your ego by doing it 'old school' or if you want to get business functionality out the door. if you're writing device drivers and intensive number crunching then C/ C++ is your thing. but if you need to slap together an app to get it out the door and in front of users, Perl, Python, Java are great tools...if you insist on C/ C++ you are doing a dis-service to your clients.
python is named after the british comedy series 'monty python'. i was watching an interview with one of the original monty-python guys (yeah, i should know his name) and he admitted to the interviewer that when they used 'python' they were kind of tounge-in-cheek making a reference to the one-eyed trouser python.
don't you think the US might have intelligence on some of these countries, notably north-korea. north-korea is starving it's own people in order to maintain their authoritarian government.
so while you're sniffing daisies and wizzing on the flag people are eating bark in north korea, nevermind dog. their backs are against the wall, the best thing they could do right now is to invade south korea. just like the USSR, communism is inherently flawed, the only way it can survive is to rape new lands.

no flame-bait i swear.
even tho 'write once debug everywhere' makes a great bumper sticker. it doesn't mean it is true. seriously, java is a good answer here.
or does anyone else find themselves always prefering the girl in the 'before' picture to the girl in the 'after' picture?
it's kinda like how brazillians know about americans but americans don't know much about brazillians.
you dig?
It's why neo-cons should read Franken.
Al Franken isn't last-name-only-worthy. as a conservative i think he's good, he's funny i like his books. but he's not tolstoy or wilde.

what insight does this give into real-world development?
yeah, i'm using mozilla firebird and none of the demos function. what the hell. thats why web-apps should be as simple as possible.
you put this stuff in the 'critical path' between a user login and customer checkout and you're gonna lose money, period.
they should explain why ruby, python, perl, basic, java is bad.
they should come up with some good improvements for a specific language.
the world doesn't need an entirely new language. (we already have python).

you need a 3270 client. can't you use cygwin?

get a clue-by-four.
operator overloading is really important? so
this + that
is so much better than
this.add(that) ?
multiple inheritance is really important?
i really question your approach to this? we don't even know the domain, is it engineering, text-parsing, web-based, server-side, client-side, both?
how about if you find a solid, proven language with a lot of momentum. python or java come to mind.
