Is the Scala type system too complicated?
Cameron McKenzie ( @potemcam ) | 9 JAN 2013 | 12 Comments
It’s precious when Java developers start complaining about how complicated the type system is in Scala.

Nikita Salnikov-Tarnovski | 8 JAN 2013 | 1 Comments
Is there something fundamentally wrong with java.util.ArrayList and java.util.HashMap? For most of the source code out there the answer is – no; those implementations are perfectly OK.

William Louth | 4 JAN 2013 | 0 Comments
There are many technical challenges to overcome in achieving optimal load balancing, such as being able to predict not just future workload patterns but the actual completion times of work already distributed, as well as the the availability of additional capacity subsequent to work completion.
