Dear Clay, I couldn't help laughing, when I read your post. This is clearly the most clear example of the pot calling the kettle black<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_pot_calling_the_kettle_black> I have ever seen.
Your post contains nothing, but ad hominem<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem>attacks. Nothing to counter the substance of the argument. It is, in fact, completely off topic. I guess you havn't had a good day, and just felt like letting out a some steam ;) On Thursday, February 28, 2013 7:13:28 AM UTC+1, clay wrote: > > "A Java™ Parallel Calamity"!?!? > > *This is the most childish, baseless attack I've ever read.* > > If you are going to attack this technology for performance, you need some > kind of benchmarks to even begin to look like a serious criticism and not > just childish insults without any point. > > When JDK7 launched: I did some benchmarks of my own: I implemented a > simple quick sort in serial, one with a simple thread pool with locked data > queues, one with a lockless data queues (using Atomic check-and-set ops), > and a fork-join implementation.
