I love learning and using Scala and Ruby for home projects. But it's frustrating not being able to use some of their best features at work, in Java. And who's to say that the "dinosaur programmers", as you call them, won't share the same frustration, 10 years from now or even today? And who's to say that you or I will not be one of these "dinosaur programmers", 10 years from now, maintaining the code we're writing today? By that time, Java could either be what Cobol is today--or it could be an old but still vivid friend that we won't mind going back to from time to time.Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684541464023958349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27876765.post-75947745172210274382007-12-19T10:54:00.000+01:002007-12-19T10:54:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Remco van 't Veerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840038968886676070noreply@blogger.com
