It was the next logical step for Russia after they built their own GPS and their alternative to the World Bank, the BRICS bank. Their biggest enemy has proven that they cannot be t…

Capitalism is unethical. No economic system is perfect. Ironically, when the rich in the US are in financial trouble, they force government to be communist. Like in 2008 recession,…

I am indeed talking about Android Java.

Now that is a good strategy. Copy directly from a language that is moving at a very fast pace and competing directly with the language you want to replace.

It is mostly C# that is keeping Java on their toes. Java competes with C# than any other language in this world. In the enterprise space, it is either Java or C#. If you check most…

Checked Exceptions are the main reason I switched to C#.NET. I hated checked exception. I know the designers wanted to save us from ourselves but they ended up making the language …

Visual Studio copied Resharper. VS now suggests some new language features.

For that to happen, functional languages have to take over. Most people are just not into functional programming languages. They prefer imperative programming languages. I feel Mic…

I have been programming in C# for 13 years now. Majority of new features are just syntactic sugar. Code I wrote in 2009 is still running even in 2019. I don't rewrite my applicatio…
