By: natlang1. on 12 May 08, 07:20:42
Almost a decade? Lisp is older than your dad. Every dynamically typed, garbage collected, object oriented language that supports higher order functions is arguably "based on" Lisp. That doesn't imply that we should never produce new languages with those features. It's all about the syntax.

Actually, no. Ruby ...
By: SolonBob. on 09 Mar 08, 10:00:56
Actually, no. Ruby has been around for 10 years now. While clearly Ruby has lifted many idioms from Perl directly, but OO, it is more than based on Smalltalk. As far as Ola Bini, I think you think mistake modesty for lack of experience. Ola is making a presentation since he wrote a book on JRuby. You haven't.

By: kpriisholm. on 07 Mar 08, 15:11:50
Dear Anonymous Coward. No matter if you agree with Ola or not, he is very experienced in a vast variety of languages, and your post taken into account, my guess is, he's a lot brighter that you'd ever dream of becoming, regardless of your level of education. Not going into a discussion here about pros and cons of Ruby, Python or JavaScript - all are great languages, but just in case you don't know, Ruby has been around since 1995, so cut the BS about 'almost a decade'.

All the features ...
By: z4hf2c5q6ymgjxk. on 05 Mar 08, 17:41:57
All the features you naively try to pass of as Ruby's features, have been implemented in a variety of other dynamic languages like Python, Perl, JavaScript, etc. People have been making good use of them for almost a decade now, probably before you wrote your first line of code. Please find someone more experienced to mentor you. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that you are "not an educated nerd" (self-taught?) or it is just a way to cash-in the Ruby hype.

By: hurlm. on 04 Mar 08, 22:14:25
It depends what you mean with scale. with C you can create very scalable applications (in terms of performance), but I would not create a database system or anything networking related with it. It does not scale in terms of development effort.

By: hagus42. on 04 Mar 08, 15:57:49
Ah yes, the portability problem! That's why all the apps I run these days are "universal" binaries that can be run on any architecture with no development effort. Thank god the portability problem was solved in the 90s.

Java solved a huge ...
By: mcdtracy. on 04 Mar 08, 07:21:25
Java solved a huge problem for developers in the 90's. Producing portable apps (Windows, OS X, Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX). Portability with a single binary image was a huge cost savings factor. It not for people that are afraid of hardware... it's for poeple that prefer to abstract it. The crack about mediocre programmers can be applied to any language... The quality of the programmer is othogonal to the language used. And now Ruby can benefit from the same VM, and platform support.

"C is a lovely ...
By: hagus42. on 04 Mar 08, 05:40:11
"C is a lovely language for writing operating systems. It doesn't really scale" -28:08 Huh? The second sentence is not only blatantly false, but totally contradicts the first sentence as well. Java is a language for people afraid of computer hardware. It's a tremendously successful language because there is a huge demand for mediocre programmers who can churn out barely good enough software. Hats off to the Java crowd for finding this market and catering to it. But it's nothing to brag about.

NAT blocks certain ...
By: suicidalfish. on 10 Sep 08, 21:43:40
NAT blocks certain payloads within an IP data packet, and with talks of transition mechanisms, IPv6 is the payload of IPV4 therefore NAT will not allow that traffic. I agree with revellioant that people need to be educated that NAT is not a security feature, purely an invention to breathe new life into a dying v4, allowing private addresses to access the world through one public address.

yeah true. but if ...
By: revellionalt. on 14 Aug 08, 11:30:45
yeah true. but if you told em that their NAT is not the security part at all (which is the truth). and just the fact there's state-tracking involved. then they could see that NAT itself ain't what is securing their network from unsolicited traffic. but the fact the gateway device itself tracks the connections and only allows established and known conversations only. The sooner people are educated that NAT is not security the better.

What's happened is ...
By: DarrenRBaker. on 14 Aug 08, 04:54:21
What's happened is strange - the limitation you mention has somehow evolved into a security 'feature' for many organizations, and the idea of being directly connected to the 'net without that virtual condom is really frightening to them.

By: revellionalt. on 27 Mar 08, 11:04:13
so NAT nicely allows lets say App A on a host at site A behind NAT to reach a host also behind NAT on Site B running App A to connect to each other directly without any extra middle-hands or fuzz?, please enlighten me.

By: dmmkrk. on 26 Mar 08, 04:45:12
and the answer is: run ipv4 and ipv6 side by side - ipv6 for devices that need end-to-end connectivity and ipv4 for everything else. oh - and stop this bs about NAT breaking things - it works great. a bunch of used car salesmen.

Excellent little panel. It's refreshing to see a company putting problems and engineering first. With everyone working on the problem, more progress can be made, faster.
