I often program in languages that are more "fun" than Java (not saying which one since it's not my point to criticize that language) but whatever fun I have flinging closures and spinning traits is quite often ruined by the extra ceremony it takes to get something to compile, to run or to be debuggable. The syntax of Java is not as fun as some other languages, but "fun" is about the entire toolchain and the surrounding ecosystem, and something missing in that bigger picture is often enough to spoil the fun. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
