That's another fallacy that I'm planning to address in a future blog post. Well, two fallacies actually: - The "multi-core era" is a brand new phenomenon that we need to start addressing (it's not new and we've been addressing it for at least a decade in Java). - Languages that encourage immutability (which Scala doesn't, as we already discussed) or fancy actor-based frameworks are the way out of this mess (remains to be proven, and in the meantime, we have a lot of existing tools that are doing a fine job at that). -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
