Post JavaOne Update
via Cliff Click Jr.’s Blog by Cliff Click on May 12, 2008
... not as pasty-white as myself (and I arrived with one of them). It was so different, that it felt like a refreshing change from the usual SF polyglot... but I was glad to walk out the door and see somebody who didn't look like a mirror image of myself. Like programming languages, sameness is bland in the short term and a form of death in the long term. Viva 'la difference!Cliff

serious and funny about side effects
via John Rose @ Sun by jrose on April 09, 2008
We just had a good conversation in the JVM Languages group about how memory is getting weird these days, and how microbenchmarks have always been weird. Please include in this weblog, by reference, my musings on memory and JVMs.Kudos to Vladimir Sizikov for a nice collection of follow-up links.
