I think mostly Joel's article is - mostly - about the idea of the programmer itself. Nobody can say Java is not good on Solaris platforms. I am one of those. Java is powerful and technically easy to learn programming language. But the programmer is another story. How many Java programmers knows about and/or use with ease recursion? It is one of the most used topic by Joel. In effect recursion is hard to use, difficult to understand but extremely powerful programming technique. I used recursion myself in many cases, mostly to parse XML files and/or bulding dynamic trees (look at ITVC portal - v2). Recursion is easy for me, as concept, but not as easy as that to apply in a program. Actually I knew few programmers that goes deep in algorythms to understand and/or plan a good work flow. Programming Java is as easy as creating a website with frontpage-like programs. Extreme Programming (as well as Real Coding) is another story. Get used to it. There are programmers that writes killer applications, there are coders that, like sysadmins, drops down codes for system administration and - sorry guys - script kids, that uses objects and methods without having proof concepts about their meaning in the real world (instructions guys, how many of you all know how internal processory is organized?) That's my 10 cents :) Enjoy - En3pY Hiya Daniele. I think mostly Joel's article is – mostly – about the idea of the programmer itself. Nobody can say Java is not good on Solaris platforms.
