And for developers not used to Emacs, Eclipse and Counterclockwise is the preferred development environment. Even Emacs pros might find it easier to just start out with countercloc…

You guys troll over at Reddit too. Just the mere existence of Kotlin has gotten you and/or some of your compadres into a complete meltdown. Is this your fulltime job, or are you a …

Another bitter Scala fanboy that goes trolling other language threads looking for any mention of Scala and who is very angry that Scala isn't taking off and never will. That's the …

I never did see his definition of "win", but Clojure does have a great community and I consider that one of its greatest strengths. That said, I can never see Clojure "winning" as …

I've thought about that watching old movies from even as late as the '30s - that every single person I'm watching (scenes with 10s if not hundreds of people) are long dead.

There's almost no excuse not to use Scala if you're deploying on the JVM Do you really believe that or just being flippant?

No, no, no. That's what college professors with no real world experience tell you. In the real world, professionals use guard clauses to exit early all the time.

Not only that, but there should be consequences for submitting this crap too.

Yep, it's a crapshoot, but I think I'm going to pull the trigger soon on one of these anyway. Can you tell me which of the usual suspects (green-sum, hulustar, bigclothcraft, etc..…

You can get Korean 27" 1440p for around $300 these days. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-QNIX-QX2710-LED-Evolution-27-256...

North Korea will never use nukes against South Korea. They want a reunified Korea under Kim Jong Un. And the best way to do this without killing innocent people is to do what they'…

South Korea kinda does not care, because they know North Korea wants the entire Korea, not half-korea and half burned slab of ground. They might say that to their population, like …

Resharper can definitely bog things down, especially in big Razor pages. But as you and the parent pointed out, I've also seen huge improvements in build times with VS2012. And wit…

That's funny because I feel the same way if I have to use Emacs. It feels like going back to the early 90s with some DOS Borland IDE. Regular text editors just feel so clunky next …

Well, you made through three quarters of the comment before typing 'sheeple'. That's gotta count for something. It's weird that your offended by that. Your first statement I tend t…

When you have leftist democrats that are statists and country-club type republicans that don't really believe in limited government, and these two groups make up the majority of co…

Yes, I'm sure he needs your help in deciding to be positive about the taxes he pays in a country that you're not aware of.

I find that for majority of problems I deal with functional solutions tend to be simpler, cleaner, and more reusable. OO on the other hand is directly at odds with reuse because yo…

Dylan was a very interesting language for its time, but way too verbose for modern day developers. I'd love to see a stream-lined Dylan-like language that targets the JVM or CLR.

Clojure is already successful for many people. What you probably meant to say is that Clojure will never be mainstream. That's probably true, but I have been subscribed to the cloj…

So the problem is that we have way too many laws and also not enough checks and repercussions for prosecutorial misconduct. But the bigger problem is that not enough people care. T…

No, the main problem with "climate science" is that it's impossible to take the political (and nearly religious to some on the left) aspects out of it. Only then, can there be a se…

I think the OP was referring to the fact that "best" is subjective. Obviously many, many others don't think that Scala is the "best" programming language on the JVM. Given that the…

I ask out of respect of Reisse, and my good natured father that we keep at the very least this thread on topic. Except there's no point in this story if it's not turned into some g…

You're not trying to prevent a budding flame war, you're just trying to preempt the "deniers" from denying. And I guess you didn't get the memo. You can't call it global warming no…
