- What is you can do in Java, you can't do as easily with a library in C++?
-
- My Top 10 list (at this moment) would read:
-
- 10) Avoid core dumps
- 9) Garbage Collection (in the language)
- 8) Threaded programming (in the language)
- 7) Heterogenous collections
- 6) Build it once for all my platforms
- 5) Write cool Dancing-Duke applets for
- my otherwise-bland homepage
- 4) Find new uses for my collection of
- 3-Stooges sound effects
- 3) Be a part of the New Bleeding-Edge
- 2) Be "Cool" again [C++ is passe]
- 1) Build a more impressive resume
-
- Of course, 6 through 10 are the reasons I give my boss.
- Reasons 1 through 5 are the real reasons anybody does
- anything with Java.
