+1. I've been crying for a reboot for half a decade. At some point it just stop making sense putting lipstick (and chap-stick and lip-gloss and...) on that pig. Scala is niche and will never break into mainstream. C# is disregarded purely by being associated with Microsoft. Fantom doesn't seem to attract people. Dart seems to be skewed towards RIA (EcmaScript). Go seems to be skewed towards systems (C/D). What I am trying to grasp is which language would Google want to put onto Android eventually to replace NotJavaButLooksAWholeLotLikeIt? And does a scenario where we have Go for backend and Dart for frontend, make a lot of sense? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
