Shameless plug: If you need really-fast route matching, consider https://github.com/kumarshantanu/calfpath (performance benchmarks are included)

Could you please also post the slides in PDF? The current download is probably for Keynote, which works only for Mac/Keynote users.

Did you consider only the local, or also the global 'remote' talent pool?

This page discusses the issue in question: http://j.mp/repeatability

Jump to section 'Free-Floating Jars' if you're feeling impatient. :)

This petition seems more appropriate: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/remove-united-stat...

Probably this would help :) http://viewtext.org/article?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwinningracecond...

Agree with antihero. The music is not great.

It appears more functional in style: http://laravel.com/docs/routing#the-basics

Good to see that.

This story is from 1991. Mentioning this in the title would be helpful.

They should consider moving the discussion to Google Groups or something. Not everybody loves to read the discussion threads via email.

You need not wait for invokedynamic to try Clojure. There is hardly any dynamic dispatch that can take advantage of that AFAICT.

Lambdas/Closures when they come to Java will certainly be backward compatible with the JVM (and hence just syntactic sugar) and will implement Runnable/Callable in some form.

Velocitude got acquired too by Akamai.

Roughly how many lines of production Clojure code is this? Is this made only using Clojure?

Wouldn't it be difficult to find apps for MeeGo? Compared to iOS, Android or even Symbian for that matter?

IIRC Windows 8 will have an ARM version too. When you have Windows, why would you run Mono instead of .NET?

Mention about Clojure (which is more functional than Scala) is curiously absent from the blog post.

This is one example of how to remove uninteresting stack frames from Clojure stack traces. http://j.mp/h3xzdN

Congrat's to @fogus and @chouser - it's a wonderful book.

They should retire IE7 too.

Few points I can recollect (without answering "which language is most applicable...."):

1. Future of Java-the-language is limited by backward compatibility. This imposes a barrier on the scope of innovation in the language.

2. #1 can be helped by the newer JVM languages.

3. Current trend to increasingly adopt Ruby, Python or PHP for turnaround time is the result of a momentum and has to mean something. There is clearly demand for faster turnaround time in some segments.

4. The JVM languages that can reach feature parity with Ruby/Python/PHP ecosystem and tooling will have a better chance of adoption IMO.

5. The next Java is certainly not Java alone. Probably a mix of languages, depending upon which ones have a better VM, tooling, libraries, turnaround time etc.

I wish it turns into something like this: http://java-source.net

Questions: What does Elastic BeanStalk mean for me?

1. Can my database auto-scale?

2. Can my JVM heap auto-scale beyond 2 GB without GC pauses?

Short link ;-) http://j.mp/fqzrdY

OpenJDK has a GPL+CE license. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html

1. When I first realized I could loop and conditionally branch inside it (my first programming lesson) to do interesting stuff.

2. When I got OOP, and later when I realized the folly of vicious mutability.

3. When I discovered FP, composability and the Turing machine.

4. When I lately realized that software development is a giant hack to solve various business problems. ;)

It needs around 30 minutes to be activated. It is working for me.

Mozilla Rust is interesting.

It may be just me but this proxy made sites load much slower.

Not working on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera on Windows 7.

I read "How to Solve it by Computer" by R G Dromey, which is based on Polya's book is excellent too. Solving HTSIBC problems in Clojure may teach one a lot of Clojure IMHO.
