I've had debates with people about RETE. Many people who don't know it and have never tried to implement RETE algorithm say "it's easy, what's so hard about implementing RETE?"

It's...]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:11:04 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:11:04 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:11:04 -0400 Apr 18, 2007 James Watson 1 Re: TSS Asks: Why resist change to Java? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=45023 I agree with a lot of what you say. If the JVM was designed from day 1 to support dynamic typing, it would make life easier. I wouldn't consider the current crop of dynamic languages on the JVM as hacks. They just might be good enough to last...]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:19:54 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:19:54 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:19:54 -0400 Apr 18, 2007 Paul Beckford 0 Re: If sun didn't screw up anything... http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=45023 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:38:04 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:38:04 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:38:04 -0400 Apr 18, 2007 Gerard Fernandes 0 Re: Moore's Law http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=45023 I personally would like to see the JVM add support for dynamic languages, but doing that is likely going to be very hard and annoy a significant percent of the java developers....]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:33:57 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:33:57 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:33:57 -0400 Apr 18, 2007 Erik Engbrecht 0 Re: Moore's Law http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=45023 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:06:44 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:06:44 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 10:06:44 -0400 Apr 18, 2007 peter lin 3 Re: Moore's Law http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=45023
The Moore's law arguments are compelling in terms of needing higher-and-higher level languages


Why does everyone seem to take it for granted that higher-level language == less computationally efficient...]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:40:11 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:40:11 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:40:11 -0400 Apr 18, 2007 James Watson 4 Moore's Law http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=45023 The Moore's law arguments are compelling in terms of needing higher-and-higher level languages...]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:15:54 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:15:54 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:15:54 -0400 Apr 18, 2007 Erik Engbrecht 5 Re: Why resist change? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=45023 Because some of the changes in tha past were BAD. Generics were OK other than that I'd like to see 1.5 changes undone.

It doesn't have to be dog slow. I used to read Bracha's blog. If you look at the recent blogs about JRuby, you'll see they've made big performance gains. That doesn't necessarily mean the JVM couldn't use some tweaking to make it...]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2007 08:02:44 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 08:02:44 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 08:02:44 -0400 Apr 18, 2007 peter lin 1 Why resist change? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=45023 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 05:04:27 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 05:04:27 -0400 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 05:04:27 -0400 Apr 18, 2007 Jan Hansen 1
