Hehehehehe,
Java,
what a marketing miracle!
brand new and yet it has no real meta layer, no workspace to test and
execute snippets of
code, has more syntax than any other two languages and even though it isn't
dynamically
bound it is slow as heck.
When you get serious, try PocketST. They are talking about 128k apps.
PocketST apps start
at less than 50k.
Why waste time fighting complex syntax and annoying typing on a palm device?
Sorry for the religous outburst ( Anyone want to borrow my soap box? ), I
find it frustrating how computer science keeps stepping
backwards.
Cheers,
Steve
