.Net vs Java


After working extensively with .Net and Java, these are the differences I
see:

Java does not have Reflection.Emit
But it does have Reflection.

That's okay so far, because most programmers are too dumb to use
Reflection.Emit .

Visual Studio .net is the easiest way to create web services.

Windows.Forms, while easy to create, are hopelessly behind other toolkits
such as Swing and Gtk.

Have you tried Mono as replacement for .net?
Some of the 200 odd liveCDs that boot from CD
and run without having to install come with mono already working.

All free and done up techies with open source source code
to configure and modify to heart's content.

Yes, I am a huge fan of mono!

I get mine straight from the source: Suse.

There is a Red Carpet channel so it can be easily updated.

Lately I've been fascinated with developing UIs in Glade -- an XML based
structure for defining forms that can operate with mono/c#. It's
obviously 2 years ahead of AXML.

Probably this answers your question, it's hard to argue with big/huge fan.
But moving from c# (I used it from since first beta) to java I don't see any
problems with java.
Some things are better in java, another in .net - they both are pretty big
NUT.

Anyway, some beeer would help to solve it.

I totally agree.

I feel that as a professional programmer, I must work in both environments
to be of value.

In what way, generally, is that behind? I was told Swing is something of a
"black art" - truth to that?

There are Java equivalents of Reflection.Emit , e.g. Bcel
(http://jakarta.apache.org/bcel/)

I'd certainly avoid both of them unless I had no plausible alternatives. (I
have had to use Refelction.Emit to create a dynamic .NET assembly. Ugh.)

Why ugh?

I think Reflection.Emit is the most brilliant part of .net

In my view it's one of those things which is a bit of a pain to use,
and is only very, very rarely useful. When it *is* useful, it's a
godsend, but it's more "cool" than useful, IMO.

I think you are defining /useful/ only in terms of what you already do.

And there I agree with you.

However, in terms of what could be done, that's never been done before...

I wrote a Jython class that inherits from a Java class and (thats the plan) overrides one method. Everything should stay the same. If I run this nothing happens whereas if I run the Java class it says: usage: java fit.FitServer host port socketTicket -v verbose I think this is because I do not understand the jython mechanism for inheritance (yet).
