True | SuperGrade | null | C++ actually has an excuse. It supports C's performance model, and its features can make your life easier.
Java's market boost was in being able to embrace C++ programmers with familiar syntax; but in a runtime model that doesn't actually need to be constrained to it.
The thing that made it attractive and got market share is also what makes it manure when measured against what a language can do on a GCed VM. (Well, technically, if they'd imitated C#'s progression it'd be much much better - maybe there's some other idiocy afoot too).

True | henk53 | null | >doesn't mean that it will attract users to J2EE if they have a choice
I don't think anyone will be attracted to J2EE. I died over 6 years ago.
Now Java EE on the other hand is a really cool platform.
>I personally don't like EE style programming at all, nor do I know anyone who does.
I know tons of people who do. I'm not sure if that says more about you than about Java EE really. Actually, the supposed myth that Python (or some other underdog technology) is always by choice while Java EE is always being forced upon people is really getting old.
Simply by virtue of being the number 1 programming platform (See e.g. Tiobe), yes, there will be tons of people who were forced to work with Java. At the same time, there will also be tons of people who choose Java.
The opensource ecosphere is a good indicator. You don't force people to code in some language in their own free time. Yet MANY people choose Java to do so.
The blogosphere is another example. You don't force people to write blogs about some language in their own free time. Yet MANY people blog about Java.

The topic has already been changed and all stems from this statement:
"They ignored Tango until it died."
And I think Walter's response is on subject with his response.
> Tell that to the Tango folks who were hurt by such "misunderstandings" on several occasions.
The subject isn't about who got hurt by what, it is about how the Tango vs Phobos issue was resolved. The internals of what happened are not important to answering that question.

True | vagif | null | I have all the nice features of FP on JVM without any convoluted over-engineering: clojure.
Functions like map, filter, reduce (fold) work there on any data structure.
The problem of Scala is, it forces on us a lot of complexity, without giving us full benefits (impure language). With haskell at least you understand the trade-off. You are getting extremely powerful language that does amazing optimizations and helps you to write programs that are most of the time correct once you compile them.
Scala does not give you any of that and still does not tackle the greatest problem of mainstream languages: uncontrolled mutable state all over your programs and libraries. Even dynamic clojure addresses that problem providing only immutable data types and thus forcing a programmer to write most of his code pure. In scala you can slap assignment anywhere. And many do.
Sorry, but if i am forced to overcome such complexity, i want greater benefits in return. I want haskell. For just nice FP plumbing (map, reduce, filter) simple clojure is more than adequate.

True | kataire | null | It depends on how you translate ordinals to other bases.
Mathematically speaking the first day of a year is at index zero, so the common ordinal is based on the index plus one. You could argue that this is silly and Jan 1st should be called the zeroth day of the year (and that it should be Jan 0th and the should be represented as 00-00, and so on).
But in practice ordinals are based on the index plus one. So translating it to another base means the 0x100th day of the year is the day with index 0xFF, i.e. the 256th day is the day with index 255.
IIRC day numbers are counting from 1, so there's probably no practical use in knowing that the actual *index* of the first day is technically zero as people would still call it day one and confuse the hell out of you.

True | [deleted] | null | It is said that illiterates have much better memories than those who can read and write. This can be exemplified by the careers of illiterate yet highly skilled individuals employed in complex crafts in earlier ages. The ability to read and write appears to have interfered with our ability to memorize quickly and accurately.
I remain impressed with such abilities. One of the early Computer Science greats placed the number of details a human could function with at seven +/- two. When dealing with large systems I would often close my eyes and "meditate" for a while when bug hunting, and it worked well, though it took my supervisors a while to get used to it.

True | SuperGrade | null | I actually designed a language of my own called "Prose". The two primary constructs are "War and Peace" (a dump of the book War and Peace), and "Hitchhiker's Guide" (a dump of the full series).
There is of course a list of rules - to mutate a variable, you put it next to the first time they mention the "Probability Drive". A new variable/lexical context can be defined anywhere there is the word "Vogon".
The IDE support is unsurpassed, even by Java. You just type the letter "W" and it dumps "War and Peace" into the text file under the cursor, "H" and the intellisense dumps the Hitchhikers series.
The IDE support is 1000x better than Java's as 99.999% of all code is generated by the IDE, as opposed to the paltry ~80% in Java.
And the code is much nicer to read than Java, because Hitchhiker and WnP, well, kick ass.
It's because of the way "Prose" is defined, it actually makes it FAR easier for an IDE to give consistent and high quality hints. | null | 0 | 1315929568 | False | 0 | c2jkjn7 | t3_ke8y3 | null | t1_c2jkjn7 | t1_c2jkcv9 | null | 1427594870 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

My bad, sort of a Freudian mis-type - I've been avoiding java for a while now, and the jargon is stale in my mind.
> I know tons of people who do. I'm not sure if that says more about you than about Java EE really. Actually, the supposed myth that Python (or some other underdog technology) is always by choice while Java EE is always being forced upon people is really getting old.
I'm not saying there aren't people who willingly choose to use Java, I was just replying to johnwaterwood's question about "why" some people choose this, and whether it really is an obscure choice. I was probably feeding a troll, as that post was a veering towards "why would someone choose *this*, when there's something good like JSF".
My last bit was meant to be anecdotal; I don't like java frameworks, nor does anyone I'm working with. In my peer groups, we seem to choose alternatives to Java EE, for the lighter cognitive overhead (though, the fallout from the "architecture astronauts" seems to be waning), and to work with our preferred languages. I need to have a program "loaded" into a mental map to work, and a succinct language helps me with that greatly (see http://www.paulgraham.com/head.html point #3). The verbosity of Java, and the need for heavy patterns like DI, Factories, Visitor, etc. due to the language constructs, add a lot of weight to that mental map.
For some tasks, java is an awesome choice, simply for the wealth of libraries available, and the JVM itself is a wonderful piece of engineering. I'm excited by the advancement in JVM languages, like Clojure and Scala, and I really like that there's stuff happening in the Java realm like the Play framework. I'm not discounting it blindly, but I didn't enjoy my past experiences, so it takes quite a bit to entice me to return.
