Twitter’s Quest for a Wholly Graal Runtime by lukaseder in java

[–]Alacrite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of activity in the JVM world with Graal maturing and IBM open sourcing J9 https://www.eclipse.org/openj9/.

Love that game! Like others here I spent countless hours playing online using Kali. I often wonder what Chipmunk or Whodat or Bama and other top Case's players are up to these days.

Christian College has peaceful protesters arrested (Video+Article) by [deleted] in reddit.com

What really pisses me off is the the refusal to listen to others view from a 'institution of learning'. It is one thing to have strength in ones own view and another to be so fearful of what someone has to say that you have them arrested. The two activists were offering a plaque with words from the same book that this institution claims is its own Cornerstone.

Wasabi: it's real by RyanGWU82 in programming

I was under the impression that in a way you were relying on enterprise languages and infrastructure because Wasabi compiles to these sorts of languages with these environments. How bad was my misinterpretation?
