  1. Re:But what if Java is the next WAIS? on LibreOffice 4 Released · · Score: 1

    "It's better, yes... except for performance, which is quite a bit worse."

    Well google it. You'll find most benchmarks put Java ahead of .NET so.....

    Let's see:

    Partial classes: Do I really have to explain that one? This is just a hack around limitations of the UI design tools.

    Structs: Really? In a modern OO programming language? No reason for these and they complicate the type system. Also they behave differently than objects but they look identical. At least in C++ they use a different operator. The M$ marketing department who designed C# didn't learn that lesson.

    Operator overloading: Ah yes, the single feature that killed SmallTalk. Back in the day IBM was pushing this language as their "enterprise" language. Trouble was with bigger applications the code became less and less readable and maintainable. Java fixed that problem and then the M$ marketing department who designed C# reintroduced that problem for you. They didn't learn that lesson either.

    "async" methods: Lots of unforeseen side effects here. Complicates the already complicated and slower C# compiler. This one's new so we'll have to wait and see.

    I forgot properties at the language level: No good convention for them. Hides performance deficits.

    There's others I think but It's 4 am and I'm tired. ;)

    Really? Java didn't add shit enums (Java's implementation is better and does not repeat the same mistakes as C++), partial classes, structs, operator overloading, etc.. assinc methods, the whole linq retardedness. ShitPascalCamelCaseConventionForEverything. You see being a microsoftie like you means you're too fucken ignorant to see how shit this all is.

    Of course. Many of the C# features are garbage so why add them to Java?

  13. Re:1st step. on Microsoft Embraces Git For Development Tools · · Score: 1

    Dude it's retarded. The problem is compounded by the fact that Visual Studio projects reference every file individually so you're always having conflicts with the project file *every time* a dev add new a file. Scales my ass.
