In the latest episode, the "full speed/native math functions" bugbear of Dick's was mentioned (how Java is IEEE strict which no CPUs are, which hurts floating point arithmetic and so on badly).
What was interesting to me was that what was once assumed to be an ideological objection turns out to be one of resources. Does this also applies to other areas - ie the reason some areas go stale is really just resources but its not until times are really tough that it is admitted? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
