I brought this up on /java
Java is a niche language to some degree for generic Enterprise development (standard database connectivity, web, application servers). I am talking about Java the platform not necessarily Java the programming language.
COBOL is also a niche language (IBM DB2 development, mainframes, etc).
As of right now, both of those niches are still popular among businesses.

True | andralex | null | The signature of map in D (copied from the standard library) is:
template map(fun...) if (fun.length >= 1)
auto map(Range)(Range r) if (isInputRange!(Unqual!Range));
which means: map is a template taking a variable number of functions that in turn defines an eponymous function taking an input range.
A brief example:
auto arr1 = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
foreach (e; map!("a + a", "a * a")(arr1))
{
writeln(e[0], " ", e[1]);
}
The advantages of this definition compared to those in Scala, Ocaml, Haskell, and others are:
* D's map does not confine you to a "list" type - it works with any input range, and all stronger ranges (forward, bidirectional, random-access) are input ranges. In particular, if you apply map to an array, you get a structure that has O(1) random access to the mapped elements. I can't stress enough how important this is.
* D's map allows you to apply multiple functions against the input in one pass. This leads to principled handling of streams (one-pass inputs) and faster execution.
The disadvantages are:
* The signature is incomplete, i.e. there is no specification of "fun". That can be added by adding an "if" constraint to the first line, but admittedly the constraint is not easy to write.
* isInputRange and Unqual are defined elsewhere, so in a way the signature is not self-contained. On the other hand, it is good for a language to allow defining arbitrary type constraints in the language itself. | null | 0 | 1315926173 | False | 0 | c2jk2jz | t3_kaxjq | null | t1_c2jk2jz | t1_c2jj0fn | null | 1427594662 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | ericanderton | null | > I have no idea how they managed complex programs,
I've worked with some blind folks in the IT field. The gist I got was that like anyone who can see, the mind has a way of creating a "map" of associated information, even if it's highly abstract like code. So not unlike being able to navigate your house in the dark, they just become familiar with the work and know where all the bits and pieces are as they write.

Maybe there was a disconnect but I think I am. The original argument was that shelvesets lend to more flexible workflow than what you can get with SVN. You suggested to use branches. I'm suggesting branches are too heavyweight in SVN. I would use them for substantial diversions in development, not things like pushing small changes to one another and daily code reviews. Do you think it appropriate to create a few to a few dozen branches in SVN every day, depending on the size of the team and project?

True | rizla7 | null | java did not do 'this'. because java is not abstract enough, there is no CIL, nor CLR, its slow, licensing costs were prohibitive, never had a clear 'vision', cant develop across all platforms (script, web, automation, PC) in early days and now tablets, mobiles, set-tops, etc... sure, you can load up all kinds of libraries, extensions, hell knows what... but java just does not have the native integration.
dotnet is not a language. its a framework based on an IL. so you have freedom of choice. don't like c#? use vb.. or something else, theres support for a crapload of languages.
what's more, c# is a standard. "developed by Microsoft within its .NET initiative and later approved as a standard by Ecma (ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_%28programming_language%29

That tools like this write so much code is more a symptom of the language being unnecessarily verbose - that there are boilerplate patterns that an algorithm can deduce that can write so much code highlights how little of Java code, by volume, is human contribution.
A boilerplate generation tool can generate the initial code; but it becomes less useful for making changes post-creation, and cannot remove any of the burden of having to read the code. | null | 0 | 1315928384 | False | 0 | c2jkdin | t3_ke8y3 | null | t1_c2jkdin | t1_c2jkax2 | null | 1427594791 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
