One must then extrapolate that dynamic languages won't scale as well across many cores as a static language, runtime metadata seems paramount. As to the builder pattern, isn't it (like most patterns) merely a symptom of a lack in expressibility? If we had constructor in-lined object Initializers, named and default parameters like certain other languages, would anyone still resort to a verbose creational hierarchy to support the builder pattern? /Casper --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
