True | rizla7 | null | not about naming. more about function. and yea i was ambiguous, didnt realize. (edit: removed, tired) IL is 'intermediate' language, and it's probably not something verbose enough for a developer to use unless you fancy that kinda stuff. maybe fun tho if you like ASM. on the other hand, bytecode isnt really readable and in .net its compiled after it passes the IL, which is then JITd to native code. i wouldn't really consider them the same thing, although they bear some resemblance.
im not a java guy, so i do admit im generally clueless when it comes to more in-depth discussions of the subject.
i dont recall mentioning scaling. however, mobile efficiency will continue to increase, while OS reqs decrease. win8 uses less resources than win7 (sign of a trend).. basically, we've reached a point where there is simply not much left for desktop software to do. now, in the mainframe dept, you are correct that java probably scales better than c++, maybe in some enterprise servers, depending on application. nobody needs to garbage collect gigs, except high performance servers. again, this was a discussion mainly about the client end/market, considering it started from the dash/dart debate. i never said .net was sup efficient in terms of resources, it is super-efficient in terms of RAD, which is what will increasingly matter, especially on desktops. | null | 0 | 1315991329 | True | 0 | c2jry6q | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2jry6q | t1_c2jrqi5 | null | 1427598435 | 0 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | UnoriginalGuy | null | You're right it is 90% because of how wonderful thought out .Net is (at least compared to Java Libraries irk) but it also doesn't hurt that the C# language its self is a refreshing change from the likes of Visual Basic (6).

True | ascii | null | The more exact equivalent is Java bytecode vs. PE, but CIL is simply the equivalent of assembly language versus the machine code of PE. Both can be derived from the other with very little effort. There are assembler like formats for java bytecode as well, e.g. java assembler language. The JDK even includes a disassembler program called javap. The distinction between CIL and PE is irrelevant here.
If we're _not_talking about garbage collecting gigs of RAM and running dozens of concurrent threads, then there's no real point in having this conversation at all, because for non-heavy workloads, JavaScript is fast enough, and if you don't like its syntax you can write a compiler for your favourite language that targets JavaScript. Lots of projects have done just that.
If we need a fast new VM, it's only because we actually _do_ want to run applications that can't run well enough on JavaScript today, in which case the .Net runtime is painfully inadequate. And heap sizes of a gigabyte and half a dozen running threads are in no way shape or form limited to server workloads. It's what modern video games and graphics software use _today_. So if we want to run those kinds of applications in the browser, .Net is not nearly good enough, but Java might be.
TL;DR: If .Net scales well enough to be suitable, then we don't need it because so does JavaScript. If .Net doesn't scale well enough, then Java is a better fit. | null | 0 | 1315993146 | False | 0 | c2js0yu | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2js0yu | t1_c2jry6q | null | 1427598462 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
True | mappu | null | The way i see it, desktops are just not going touch. There's the Mac and it's multitouch trackpad, but that only augments slightly the existing desktop, it doesn't replace everything. For tablets, Microsoft have a very well reviewed touch-based OS in Windows Phone 7, or whatever the current CE distro is called.
The problem is with devices like the Dell Duo, where it's part tablet, part laptop. I don't think there's a good solution in that case. On one end of the spectrum there's Android-x86, where a mouse cursor is added to a touch-centric OS. On the other, there's OSX, where touch gestures are subtly added to enhance a keyboard-and-mouse OS. At this stage it looks like Windows 8 makes the wrong compromises; it tries to sit in the middle, and it forces users of either paradigm to use both environments. | null | 0 | 1315993640 | False | 0 | c2js1pj | t3_kejwo | null | t1_c2js1pj | t1_c2jrwlk | null | 1427598471 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | rizla7 | null | i wouldnt attempt game dev in java :\ no support for native drawing.
i dont see how you can compare JS to dotnet.. one is a language, other is a framework. i also dont see how you can compare JS execution times to dotnet compiled code. furthermore fail to see how you would even attempt cross-platform. JS is just lacking anyways in what one would expect from a O-O language. dynamic typing, conversions, proper threading, etc.
i just don't see how you're arriving at your conclusions.
we don't need a fast new VM, we need people to understand that JS isn't a freaking webapp/application framework and to stop trying to turn it into one. if google wants their own VM, fine, but lay off the javascript and dotnet. or don't, and fail, i really don't care... not worried about dash/dart what so ever. | null | 0 | 1315994871 | False | 0 | c2js3la | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2js3la | t1_c2js0yu | null | 1427598497 | 0 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

That's what the scheduler does many time per second. The trick is not to let processes wake up all the time.

The same way they can stop you when you try to execute a function for which you don't have adequate permissions - like when you wish to delete a file in C:\Windows and you aren't running as an administrator. It would be just one quick kernel check per function and if it fails then the application gets terminated.
However more and more I get the feeling that you might be right. Just as a relevant side note, Win32 is not actually API *of* NT, it's a subsystem implemented with [NT's own API](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_API).

pinpointing parsing error.
- Removed PetitParser since it is no longer needed by Amber itself.
- Added compiler optimizations in the form of speculative inlining of
specific messages and control structures.
- Added support for dynamic Arrays, just like in Squeak/Pharo.
- Added support for similar dynamic Dictionaries, not seen in other
Smalltalks.
- Added & and | as allowed binary selectors and implemented them in
Boolean.

...and various extensions, enhancements and bug fixes to the library
classes.
Development environment
- A working Debugger with integrated inspector, proceed etc.
- A structure with multiple different Amber environments in different
directories.
- A working amberc command line compiler including a Makefile for
recompiling the whole Amber.
- Enabled TestRunner in the IDE for running unit tests based on SUnit.
- Added "File in" button in Workspace to easily paste and filein source
code in chunk format in the IDE.
- Added "Rename package" and "Remove package" buttons to browser that
use the new Package model.
- Added a standalone webDAV server in Amber so that it is simpler to
get

As for JS, yes it is a language, but it has been used as a platform by lots of different projects. There are compilers that take Java, Ruby or Python source code and output JavaScript on it. And then we have Fabrice Bernard who wrote an entire x86 emulator in Javascript, which allows you to boot a virtual Linux machine in JavaScript in your browser. Not very practical, but it proves that JavaScript has high enough performance to be used as a platform for other languages if you're not extremely performance conscious.
As for JavaScript being slow compared to .Net, that's simply untrue. The computer language benchmark game shows JavaScript being roughly half as fast as C#. That's using Mono, it's quite possible that Microsofts .Net VM is a bit faster, but seeing how JavaScript is only ~4 times slower than C, the difference can't be huge.
Finally, your comments about JavaScript lacking proper O-O, as many people have discovered in the last few years, JavaScript has excellent O-O-support, it just works very differently than other C-like languages. Prototype based inheritance is a very powerful mechanism for O-O. More importantly, JavaScript has excellent support for functional programming, which is quickly becoming an important programming paradigm.
Overall, it seems to me you are a Microsoft guy, Microsoft tools are the only tools you have a deep understanding of, and you'll dismiss anything that is different from what Microsoft offers because it doesn't have the features that you believe everyone needs, even if the alternatives implement the same functionality in a superior way. | null | 0 | 1315998252 | False | 0 | c2js8rt | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2js8rt | t1_c2js3la | null | 1427598567 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | rmxz | null | The worst part is that Java itself is evolving in that same direction; with the addition of features-with-a-learning-curve like generics, closures, etc. Java's greatest strength was that it was designed for the lowest-common-denominator programmer. Show anyone who programmed any language a java 1.3 class, and they're almost sure to be able to read the code and guess correctly what it did.
This is a very important feature for certain types of software in certain types of organizations.
It's what made it easy to outsource to China & India. You have neither the time nor the language skills to interview the programmers? No problem - it's Java - they can read it, and how bad can they mess it up anyway? It's what made employee turnover not matter. Lead programmer wants a big raise? No big deal - you can hire any new grad who can read his code. Manager wants to micromanage? No problem - he can read Java too! It was everything Cobol tried to be long ago.
Like Scala, other languages (lisp's an obvious example) have always been around that were "better" in a skilled developer.
But none have been as good for the average developer than Java.
I just hope the java language designers recognize that, and move back to simplifying java, rather than their current trend of trying to make it compete more directly with languages like Scala.

You can choose the features to suit your domain and you can let grownups have more features.

i still don't see why you're arguing that JS **can** be used. the point is, it *isn't* so the argument is worthless. you can't even comare the two, honestly.
what? dotnet CLR is almost as fast as c/c++... JS is way slower than even that shit. when speaking of most applications, the difference in speed with proper code management is almost non-existent... ofcourse depending on application, but you can even do d3d/dx without much loss of performance, not like i would for a *major* project.
javascript has *shit* OO support... sure, the theory is all wonderful, but the implementation is utter shit. and multi-threading?
i'm only a MS guy because ever since 2003 and the utter dominance of dotnet, there is no reason not to be. all other platforms are fragmented, they have next to no collective vision. everyone is just working on their own individual projects, now google's making at attempt to remedy that at least for android, which means shit really, since linux will still have the same problem. | null | 0 | 1315999011 | False | 0 | c2js9yz | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2js9yz | t1_c2js8rt | null | 1427598580 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

I'm pretty sure his game isn't the best, as a game. For starters the concept isn't new, and as often with notch's entry, the gameplay is weirdly tuned.
