Admittedly, Darwin actually does a lot of this. Remember, Mac OSX is basically a microkernel operating system, giving it a lot of security and modularity advantages you don't find in monolithic kernels like Windoze or Linux.
Even the schools that aren't Java schools don't really do things right.
I'll tell you the curriculum here at UMass Amherst. 1 semester of intro programming with Java, followed by 1 semester of data structures/algorithms in Java. Then Architecture and Assembly Language (my current course), in which you work your way up from transistors to logic gates to processor units to a whole made-up architecture and ISA called LC-3. The book contains chapters explaining how C constructs map onto LC-3 assembly language, but we don't have enough time to cover them.
We also get a semester of "programming language paradigms", in which the professors attempt to expose these poor, miseducated students to C, Lisp and Prolog. Upper-level courses of course include such things as databases, operating systems, compilers, etc... And there's a discrete math course in their somewhere.
Unfortunately, I don't see how you can comprehend compilers or operating systems if you don't have a truly thorough understanding and experience of a language outside Java.
Please don't take that for a representative example of trained Computer Scientists. I'm in my freshman year of college and I can out-program that kind of moron in my sleep. For one thing, I can actually explain what a linked list is, starting from the concepts of pointers and user-defined data types.
Actually, the advantages are pretty big and the languages are rather different.
Free Pascal has units -- an actual module system. Free Pascal objects all descend from TObject, making RTTI and just passing "an object" around a lot easier. Free Pascal does not suffer from multiple inheritance -- it uses interfaces instead. Free Pascal has native, reference-counted strings that save programmers humongous amounts of time otherwise spent on string allocation and deletion. Free Pascal's inline assembler is far easier to use than GCC inline ASM and integrates well with the Pascal code around it. Free Pascal defines its own standard libraries and even its own GUI libraries that work across something like a dozen platforms. Free Pascal has strong typing and does not require the use of pointers to handle an object instance -- we have references for that.
Now what lack of ubiquity were you talking about? Object Pascal was a fairly common industrial language until Borland started raping Delphi, and Free Pascal Compiler will target most platforms I've ever thought of working on (and some I haven't).
You have confused two different issues. Managed languages perform extra run-time checks that non-managed languages do not. Free Pascal, being a Pascal, will still apply far more bondage-and-discipline type safety than you'll ever find in C or C++ unless you, the programmer, explicitly typecast your data.
I dunno. "It has exceptions, native strings and OOP (and now generics with 2.2.0) without any of cryptic syntax, include nightmares, or behind-my-back implicit typecasts of C++" sounds pretty good to me.
But, no. Nobody sane in Israel has any plans to build a Third Temple. Some crazy religious people are training qualified boys as priests for a temple they believe will soon be built (upon the advent of Mashiach), but they don't actually plan to build a temple.
You mean, just like that ethnic minority composed of criminal, parasitic, white British sailors, who came stole the Native-American's lands from their rightful owners all the while destroying their culture? We're talking about Britain here. The whites *are* the indigenous ethnic group, and the minorities and immigrants truly have no claim to the country other than that graciously given by Britain.
Yes, because the Vikings and the pre-medieval Germanic tribes had highly functional societies before being acculturated by southern Europeans, who in turn were acculturated by Greeks and Semites. Yup, most of western civilization basically comes from the Jews and the Greeks. But it's funny how few people thank either group for all they've contributed.
And where is the news about all the Fuck Israel/Jews groups, there are too many to list: Fuck Israel & Any One Join In "Fuck Islam" Group fuck Israel & Jewish Fuck Israelians Coincidentally, the mebership of every single anti-Israel and anti-Semitic group (if you don't like the IDF, you're fine. If you protest the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, you're anti-Semitic) is almost entirely composed of members of the people of peace -- Arabs -- who practice the religion of peace -- Islam.
Look, the unfortunate fact is that the word "racist" has been contaminated semantically by European political thought. Put shortly, they consider any group of people of sufficient size a race, even though obvious groups like "everyone from India", "everyone from the Middle East", "immigrants", "Zionist Oppressors/Jews" (these terms are meant interchangeably when not used interchangeably), and "white people" do not in any way map to the four scientifically recognized races.
Hell, what about the hate speech on Reddit? They hate every religion, especially Islam; they claim that most political ideologies are actually religions; and despite their own insistence that they only hate usurping Zionism, you have to look pretty far to find better-veiled anti-Semitism.
You made a choice to continue to stand beside them. Bull. He came to me. Why should I have to move so he can kill himself and others with his smelly habit? I have a right not to inhale second-hand smoke in public. Smokers have a right to smoke in private, since their actions not only affect but definitely hurt everyone around them, unlike -- for example -- heroin users.
And yes, this does mean no more bans on smoking indoors. Let the building owners decide whether to allow smoking or not.
no one is forcing you to stand next to someone smoking. What if I'm standing somewhere alone, or with other non-smokers, and some guy comes over to me (us) and lights up? How did I/we make a choice to stand near a smoker? We didn't, the smoker entered our space and started smoking. When we put "hitting" in instead of smoking, it's called assault because a person has a right to bodily integrity in all places, public and private. I shouldn't have to retreat to my own property to prevent smokers or muggers chasing me everywhere.
Transportation loses money because you have to build capacity for peak hours and leave it unfilled outside those hours. Thus, you only get enough efficiency to make money on your investment during rush hour, even though every rider values the ride and every non-rider values not having those damned drunk subway hippies on the road.
Considering the American medical system problem has a lot to do with the market-skewing Medicare system of the government (guess what happens when you institute socialization in the price structure so no one has to worry about how much things cost -- suppliers charge more because the government will pay it!), I don't think the libertarians are that far off. Selective government can simply solve this problem: if you charge too high a price for your drugs, we will revoke your patent on the chemical and buy from the cheapest manufacturer willing to produce the stuff!
Problems are the fault of "capitalists" despite the fact that even the right-wing parties in Norway want a welfare state, and while you are not a "terrorist" unless you support Israel, try saying it isn't all Israel's fault and sit back and wait until you're branded "capitalist" , "zionist", "racist" , "republican" or similar. Nice to know that European anti-Semitism is alive and well!
What about issues like public transportation or health care, in which the utility of the collective service is immense (much higher than the utility of not having the service), but the free market will never fuel (because transportation and actually treating sick people can often be money-losing businesses)?

Sony Defence Force? SDF? Sony Defence Forces? Sonian Defence Force?
Tzva Haganah L'Sony?
LOL! Do they really think you get leet just by calling yourself a * Defense Force?

And you actually believe the Revelation of John?
But, no. Nobody sane in Israel has any plans to build a Third Temple. Some crazy religious people are training qualified boys as priests for a temple they believe will soon be built (upon the advent of Mashiach), but they don't actually plan to build a temple.
Fuck Israel & Any One Join In "Fuck Islam" Group
fuck Israel & Jewish
Fuck Israelians Coincidentally, the mebership of every single anti-Israel and anti-Semitic group (if you don't like the IDF, you're fine. If you protest the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, you're anti-Semitic) is almost entirely composed of members of the people of peace -- Arabs -- who practice the religion of peace -- Islam.
Fuck you too, theiving bastards.

Thing is, there isn't any common sense to those things. To understand that, just look at every war ever.
You can't have more than the entire population of Earth not in the group. Someone is in it, therefore less than the whole population is not in it.
And yes, this does mean no more bans on smoking indoors. Let the building owners decide whether to allow smoking or not.
But don't make me inhale his tar.
And Christ's response is the actual reason that the Jewish population refused conversion to Christianity.
