Re:Java tools and technologieslandscape for 2014 on Wednesday May 21, 2014 @12:12PM (#7779008)
Unfortunately this is exactly the kind of anecdotal which just doesn't work. Popularity of tools and technologies varies greatly between geographies, industries and maturity. E.g. English-speaking world and German-speaking world value tools and techs in entirely different ways.
There are no real Turing-complete languages, as Turing-completeness requires infinite hardware. And certainly there are degrees of incompleteness, expressed by which programs run out of memory faster.
Re:Startup vs. Company on Wednesday March 23, 2011 @12:46PM (#2360158)
One way to define a startup is explosive growth -- more than 2x every year. If you have such growth it's not an established business with well-defined market, products and processes and you have to reinvent yourself every year. Mind you they do differentiate between early stage startups and growth stage startups.
