> ...but there's no reason to believe the latter. Look at Java. True dat. You presumably need the community to be skilled in a more low-level language too. E.g., Python attracts a lot of C programmers, because/so there are lots of native libraries wrapped to be used in Python.
Most Java programmers simply don't have the C++ skills, as far as I have seen, to hack at the JVM itself, for example. I'm sure as good software engineers we could do it if we needed to, but we'll generally avoid it if possible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
