I have been a Java and C++ developer for more years than I would like to admit. A rencet career move has led me into a .Net- only world. Your statement about Java as a language being crusty, C# is better, but Java has the best libraries, resonated with me. When you work exclusively in the .Net realm, the sense of open source community is essentially non-existent when compared with the Java community. Sure, you have codeplex and a few other MS sponsored efforts...but it's simply not the same.However, in this situation you can have your cake and eat it too. Your statement "If you could write C# code with Java libraries, you'd really have something". Well, you can to a large degree with IKVM. It really does work, it's technically sound, and since Sun opened the Java runtime, it's even more practical. The efforts of the folks behind GNU Classpath made IKVM viable many years ago. Try IKVM out on your favorite Java library and I think you will be impressed.

Great post, Neal.As a language fan, it's fun to gaze on this list, but what raelly gets my attention is that you are _using_ Ruby.That scores big props from me because you are dealing with real world issues: teams, installs, packaging, unit testing, etc.As language amateurs (recall that amateur is, loosely, 'lover of' in French), it is easy to say 'oh language X would be a blast'. But often that is for home projects; it is seductively easy to ignore all the logistic details of a real project. e.g. I have no idea how I would package a Lisp app. (I'm sure one can but usually I think of lambdas, not 'how do i deploy').Mikeps. Count me in the Python camp!

Love your list and mostly agree, but I would swap Python and Ruby [I like pyohtn a lot!]Just for the record, however, the loom is spelled Jacquard. If you're interested, gets you to a company that makes jacquard looms for hand weavers (a truly cool tool for us weavers if only the $'s were there (sigh))And jacquard designs are done with one of several very nice CAD programs, so programming a jacquard is quite easy (no, you don't have to do it in the loom equivalent of assembly language) Dale (who weaves when he gets a chance)

I was hoping the the syatnx was optional. >List words = new ArrayList();Might be more convient than casting for add/retrieveing operations for items in the collection.There is tons of existing code that does not use that syatnx. Hopefully, you can still cast when you need too and compile existing source code with out a deprication flag.

public int[] frontPiece(int[] nums) { if (nums.length < 3) { // if length 2 or shtorer it will return array return nums; } int[] a = {nums[0], nums[1]}; // make new array with 1st and 2nd integer from nums array return a; // return new array}

That would be because all nermubs in javascript are actually 64 bit floating point.Not all integers higher than 53 bits can be exactly represented as a 64 bit floating point value, hence 0 20000000000000 and 0 20000000000001 are the same.This is due to the 11 bit exponent and the 1 sign bit. This only leaves 52 bits to store the fraction

I'd be happy just to break out of the Delphi rut let alone actually use a dynmaic language. I have C# experience and consider myself more than competent, but the PHBs in charge of hiring always discount me because I don't have direct experience in some particular nuance of .Net development (none of the criteria I've encountered during interviews are worth a crap).I just may end up transitioning to my 3rd job in a row based primarily on a dead language I despise - Delphi.
