Re:Why people hate Java? on Sunday August 24, 2008 @06:19AM (#285088)

I have plenty of experience. But I'm work in academia so my experience differ.

As I thought Java disliked not because design. It's human factor. Use ruby for number crashing and you will hate it.

Thanks for comment.

p.s. My primary tools are python and matlab. And I have to say sometimes static typing is must.

Why people hate Java?

from the self-post dept.

In my opinion Java is good language. I cannot understand people here and on reddit blaming Java often without reason.

Re:Ask HN: What does Ruby have that Python doesn't? on Saturday August 23, 2008 @06:02AM (#284556)

* Everything in Python feels like a symbol table hack.

>It isn't bad at all. (And does not really matter)

* First-class symbols.

>Ok, but python has first class functions.

* Blocks and lambdas. I've read GvR's take on this.

>GvR is right.

* Method definitions in Ruby don't need to accept a "self" argument.

>It isn't bad at all. (And does not really matter)

* Ruby has first-class Regexps. Python has an "re" library. You know what else has an "re" library? C.

> Ruby has private methods. JAva has private methods too. Therefore ruby is bad.

And so on...

p.s. And if you need oop features why use ruby instead of java?
