I think there are some heavily rose colored glasses on this claim. Many other software languages already had stuff like this. CPAN/CTAN are two that come to mind easily. And this is avoiding stuff like the ports tree in FreeBSD or packages in various linux stacks. All of that said, I brought this article up because it did seem somewhat flame baity. Was curious if it was just me. I am curious to know what you are referring to with other code reuse. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
