speckledjim··on Why Scala seems difficult but really isn’t

Either you care about shipping products, and making things of value, or you care about what the latest fashionable language to do it in is.

speckledjim··on Is Scala really Faster than Java?

> So, no, Scala is not faster than Java and probably won't be for a long time.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but how can a language that compiles down to Java, be faster than Java?

Does C code execute faster than machine code?

Colors tend to be used in programming quite a bit. I'd expect quite a lot of british programmers/techies tend to write grey, even though it's not how it's spelt here. Just as we techies often write 'color' instead of 'colour'.

Spreading FUD about tracking search terms etc didn't seem to help DDG last time. I doubt this will have any effect either.

DDG: If you want to grow, don't keep attacking the big search engines with FUD that only a miniscule % of people care about.
