Java is Dead

And why you're going to depend on it more than ever.

No, it's not coffee, although some of our members have a strong requirement for its presence in their diet. The article linked above will be most interesting to Sno, but for those of you planning career changes into anything that might involve programming, you may wish to give it a read. It came with good timing, too, because I recently acquired a Scala text and have been reading it whenever the mood strikes me.

Oh, and to dispel some myths: Java is not slow. Swing is slow. Whenever most people think of Java, they're actually thinking of the user interface library that really gives Java a bad wrap. Swing sucks.

Wow that's a pretty good article. Thanks for the link bro. I'm not finished reading because I'm at school, but thus far it has some really good points.

I figured you might like it since you're going that route. It's the only sensible article I've seen on the subject in a long time!
