No, they're saying they are going to be "more open", which implies they were already open. No apology there (nor should there be).

Everyone will have a different take on this based on the kind of software they write. The bottom line is that math is pervasive at all levels of software engineering but it impacts developers in different ways. If you write video games or a

You're making the dangerous assumption that a failed experiment is synonymous with no progress. We actually learn a lot more from failures than successes.

Yeah, screw progress and experimentation, right?

Yes, you're right, I apologize for being a bit harsh.

I'm excited. Not so much by the fact that Google now provides this service (which I may or may not use) but because this is going to put a tremendous amount of pressure on other ISP's, and competition is badly needed in this field

I haven't seen a single mention of parallelism in the 600+ page language manual. This will probably be done through libraries.

> They should just deprecate it and switch to Go That would be a step backward, we really need generics and a reasonable support for exceptions on Android (or any large scale system, for that matter). Go is a fine language at the system

It's a bit of a disturbing read for a couple of reasons: - Going to an early stage start up as a young father is not a sacrifice, it's a selfish act. You are thinking more about yourself and what you want to do (and not do) rather

For your point to stand, you'd have to spend some time explaining why you think Play is superior to DropWizard.

So what? I don't care who writes the article, all that matters is whether the content of the article is interesting. For this particular article, I think the answer is "Very", so thanks to the author.

C++ is still a very big step forward compared to Fortran, Algol or Ada.

Developers will pay decent money for a "code" editor (an IDE), not a "text" editor. Text editors are dime a dozen and in that space, you are competing with much more than tools that are geared just toward developers.

It always makes me chuckle when I see companies trying to ship a product (free or not) and realize a few months later that it's not picking up adoption. Then they decide to open source it in an effort to make it popular but of course,

But these are not enforceable by the type system (at least in Haskell), kind of supporting my point that types alone are rarely sufficient :)

> write your types and your programs write themselves as the "only possible implementation". But there are only very few type signatures for which this is true, even if you stick to totality.

Spring's DI is terrible but Guice (and on mobile, Dagger) is really easy to work with, statically typed and has increased the maintainability and testability of our code base tremendously.

Not a single mention of Guice or even dependency injection? Seems like a gaping omission in a guide that claims to be about "modern" Java.
