Each copy of IntelliJ bonds with its owner on startup (That's the intelli bit), When bonding it adopts the owners way of being and outlook on life. Thus, some copies are stable, some flaky, and in my case, some refuse to start. :o) On Feb 11, 1:45 pm, Christian Catchpole wrote: > Hey it is in

Hey it is intellij. Perhaps it re-factored and healed itself. :) PS. I love intellij and haven't had any problems with 8.0.1 (so far). On Feb 11, 12:21 pm, Van Riper wrote: > On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 4:21 PM, Michael Neale > wrote: > > > Is anyone else mortified by the lack of stability in I

Oddly I'm finding it rather stable here - but then I'm not touching any JSPs or the like. Is it IDEA itself or more plugin issues? ...and then Buffy staked Edward. The End. On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 1:21 PM, Michael Neale wrote: > > Is anyone else mortified by the lack of stability in IntelliJ

There's 'synthetic', which is a flag on class members that indicates that they aren't intentional (by the code author), just a side-effect of the compiler making it all work right. A side-effect is that most IDEs suppress them in auto-complete models, which is overkill, but another flag that means

Hey Reinier, thanks for your very very long answer. Again a lot of things are more clear to me and I also agree in many points with you. Still there is a point that I have to clarify. When I say that we want to develop for a mobile platform, it does not mean that we want to hack it or program lo

Scala doesn't work that way because Tuples have O(1) access to all elements where what you propose would have O(n) access. Having 22 Tuple classes is definitely a code smell. Same with having 22 Function classes. But those are code smells forced by the JVM. On "machines" with a less strict sta

As your third paragraph states, if you're grabbing the Nth element out of an N-tuple that way, you're doing something wrong. Probably confusing "tuple" with "list". In some other languages, a method that takes a tuple transparently unpacks the tuple into local variables, so accessing the Nth

Even if you use a list instead of a tuple, lists don't support heterogenous typing; you can have a tuple of type , but you can't have a list that is defined to contain alternating String/Integer. I agree that it would be great if somehow the actual underlying object is the same thing between a tup
