Behind the scenes, this is a form of dataflow concurrency, delimited
continuations being the secret sauce that makes it all work.
(if you're familiar with continuations in Jetty 7, you'll have a broad idea
of the technique)
So, yes, threads are involved, but not in the way you imagine.

You're right about that, it's not optimal, and given the choice I'd opt for
less crap. But, having said that, it's so far down the list of priorities for
switching languages that it's not even worth mentioning.

Not quite as seamlessly, but both Eclipse and IntelliJ now do a reasonable

Meh. I think it is a waste of time to worry about most of the style rules.
Not to mention, style is such

Yea, the kindle 3 is at 3.0.x, but my DX is still at 2.5.x. Should
I've been happily using the iPad as an ebook reader. I've mostly been

Here is what a technical book looks like on the new Kindle:

The display looks actually nicer than it does in the picture (which I took
with my phone, and the colors look a bit washed out because of the light
that I was using).

I've found Java to be remarkably style impervious in the sense that I can
read Java code using all kinds of different styles (different indentations,
different brace placements, different namings for fields or variables,
etc...) and not be bothered by it for more than a few seconds.
I can't say th
Well... that not too bad actually. And you can search your collection of
pdf's for keywords ?

Totally, I'll just read what I'm given - or reformat in an IDE if it's
*really* bad (e.g. written with a different tab size other than 4)
I'm also finding that the guideline 2 space indents in Scala is a nice

You should check out ScalaTest, or Cucumber in Ruby, or Spock in Groovy. I
know there are similar frameworks in other languages - just can't remember
the names right now!
For some reason, test frameworks seem to be a hotbed of innovation for all

Hey everyone,
I'm not sure how many fellow Java Posse listeners will be going to
JavaOne this year, especially now that Google has pulled out (what a
downer! No Bloch & Gafter puzzlers talk this year?)
But if you are still going, I have two things to suggest:

I'd also be interested in this. No one I know using an ebook reader is
using it with technical books. The iPad can read pdfs, so maybe that's
the best solution?

the Kindle 2, but the screen size is just small enough to make reading

I also have the DX. I have found that I have quit using it for technical
docs. The response is too slow. It isn't convenient to flip around while
using as a reference and PDF has a long way to go to be functional beyond

Neither does it boot that fast.
So MAYBE the ipad is what we're looking for ?

Yeah, Specs has been the example that I've used to show people "literate

And, I realize there are some rather enjoyable "literate" programs in Java.
James Iry's wonderful chucking example is rather fun.

the val does not evaluate to (), the compiler actually adds the () after the
val definition. It's a workaround for situation where you assign to a value
in a code block. It removes the need for () at the end of an expression
that does so.

anyone else updated their google maps app lately and notice that now the
