  1. Read this awesome article by Christian about optimizing page speed in Seam http://tinyurl.com/seamopti... (via @jbossseam)
  2. Installed mysql5-server via macports the "right way" using launchctl
  3. The question on #scala has gone from "if" to "when". We need to do a better job helping the trans. to mixed Java/Scala projects (via @robc2)
  4. Java EE 6 (EJB 3.1) vs. Spring. Both slide sets are available: http://ejug.at/node/26 (via @AdamBien)
  5. @mojavelinux nice work! Congrats!
  6. #scala has an interesting asymmetric complexity; A very complex type system allows incredibly type-safe, "simple" libraries for consumers.
  7. @dhanji, I agree that #scala is more complex than Java, but Java's complexity is understated and scala's is overstated.
  8. @dhanji, yes, but java has lots of accidental complex (eg: primitives, autoboxing, arrays covariant yet generic collections invariant, etc)
  9. IMO many mistake unfamiliarity (of both paradigm and features) with complexity. Spanish seems very complex to me because I don't know it ;)
  10. I'm skept. that #scala is really that much more complex than java (especially for lib consumers).
  11. >@dhanji perceived complexity could possibly limit #scala's general purpose ubiquity aspirations.
  12. >@dhanji or is specialization more likely (ie: a lang for concurrency, another lang for domain modeling, another for scripting, etc.)?
  13. >@dhanji Do you think #scala could reach the same level of ubiquity that java reached for general purpose programming?
  14. >@dhanji yes, if #scala really takes the "java3" crown, I would be very happy. This is how I would bet if I had to make a prediction today.
  15. >@michaelneale or perhaps they should take a real hard look at #scala for this.
  16. >@michaelneale I would love to see Sun/Oracle start moving towards "Java3" (ie: 4th gen lang, statically typed, OO/functional hybrid).
  17. >@michaelneale I think it's pretty clear that java (the lang) is pretty near the end of it's evolution (although it's still very much alive)
  18. >@michaelneale I think I agree with Cay (keeping in mind that Java the platform (ie: VM) and the community are more valuable than the lang).
  19. Listened to @javaposse interview with Cay Horstmann, http://tr.im/rvgb Interesting discussion about Comp. Sci. at SJSU. Very good.
  20. @headius I'd consider Ubuntu and Redhat both OSes. Their userland and policies around them differ drastically (and usually the kernel too).
