Thanks from the Java Developer

I wanted to thank those members of the Python community that took the
time to answer my questions about interfaces and plug-ins in Python. I
have discovered that Python is a very powerful language, and one that I
look forward to using for Linux development. I have found the support
for Python much better than that for Mono, and I will be moving
development of my Linux applications to Python.

Thank you again for the help.

> So switch jobs -- it's a good time.

If it were that easy I would.. However, I have family commitments
keeping me in Yorkshire (UK) (as well as the fact that I really like
the area!), and the jobs in the area are all Java, .NET (predominantly
C#) and C++.

Always on the lookout for Python work though, and I actively try to
inject at least a bit of it into the work I do, even if it's just
scripts or test programs.

When the time comes, I'll be there though :-)

too many job-offer posts, and the nuisance of all those recruiters
haunting our monthly meetings and how much time they take, ...!!!


Hmm...eagerly awaiting this phenomenon to reach the Boston area.


Hey, I was just thinking the same thing! Of course, what I'm *really*
waiting for is the "looking for people who like to *think* they are
Python developers but aren't really" trend to hit Boston. :)

So far it looks like we have these options for calling our java based API from a .NET application: 1) http://www.jnbridge.com, about $500 per machine/developer 2) re-write java app in Visual J++ (Microsoft java) - then it will integrate nicely with .NET. 3) use web services 4) use JNI Option 2 isn't possible, because our java based app is a huge server side

Java programmers seem to always be whining about how confusing and overly complex C++ appears to them. I would like to introduce an explanation for this. Is it possible that Java programmers simply aren't smart enough to understand C++? This is not merely a whimsical hypothesis. Given my experience with Java programmers --- the code they write and the conversations they have --- Occam's Razor points to this explanation. For example,...

choice between c and c++ is pretty obvious if the program is even moderately big. how does java score in comparison to c++ in terms of efficiency ? i guess java definitely has more libraries, more verbosity (for clarity to programmers) etc etc. The only concern is efficiency. How does java compare with C/C++ on that ?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
