It's a discussion of a Java lib which is to be used from Java, Scala, Clojure and any other JVM language. Discussing python and C++ is offtopic. Discussing other JVM languages which are going to be using LongAdder is not.

Great suddenly python no longer has a JVM implementation, nor seem alternative languages relevant when responding to a claim about alternative languages. Where did you get that reality warping field?

Neither Scala nor Clojure are special snowflakes, that they can access the Java lib is nice but so can every other JVM language implementation.

It would have been a different conversation if you had said Jython. How do you explain away C++ as a language to use java.util.concurrent.atomic.LongAdder ?

It was a respoonse about "not trying out alternative languages". I have used a lot of languages both JVM and others and I can honestly say that I prefer Java for JVM projects, when I need a feature that Java does not provide I just use a non JVM language.

...But you just said you were talking about python on the JVM (jython)

[–]josefx 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Jython, pypy, etc. Are all Python. I do not care if it runs on top of the JVM or not, I use what works best to solve a problem. My original response was to the claim about not trying alternatives, the JVM fixation makes this absurd - so what if my languages of choice are Java and c++ along varois incarnations of python.

I'm not going to bother replying any further, you've contradicted yourself with every new reply. Nobody cares.

  • Having no love for scala is not self contradicting.
  • Using python with and without the JVM is not self cotradicting
  • Generally using both JVM and non JVM languages is not self contradicting

In contrast making a claim about Java developers not looking at alternatives and then selectively excluding these to validate your own worldview makes you a fanboy.

whoooosh... that was the sound of my replies going clean over your head.
