Yup. That's definitely one of the reasons for me to get dragged into scala v. java debates. Constant whinging about java with overstated, misleading, or outright mistaken factoids (such as "java is more complicated!", "just use scala", or even "scala makes lets me write 1:3 LoC vs. java, at minimum") gets me defending java. More than I usually do, even. There's another psychology hint here: By forcing the people you'd like to convince to defend the other side, you're entrenching them in that side. You're driving people away from scala, in other words. The rest of Casper's post is just as good really. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
