Sadly though it doesn't look like ParallelArray will make it into Java 8. Unless I missed something recently. java.concurrent.util is showing more and more high-level features as Doug et al. work them in, but the problem remains that most Java programmers still think shared-memory multi-threading is the way to code up parallel algorithms. Clearly GPars and Akka are trying to provide something at higher levels, but traction is relatively poor amongst people other than very early adopters. Having done some Java training recently, I am depressed by the attitude of the average Java programmer. All they want to do is fulfil management requirements, no thought of improving themselves and their knowledge and expertise. This is in stark contrast to the folks involved with organizations who are ditching Java in favour of C++/Python or Scala/Python of which there is a lot happening, hence me getting solid business doing Python training. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
