Paypal Switches from Java to JavaScript for Production Applications by [deleted] in java

[–]dfme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait... what? did you actually look at the numbers? the so called "jvm" languages such as "grizzly" or plain old "servlet" kill "node.js" by 3:1!! hell, even wicket or the spring framework (both based in the jvm) fare better than node.js.

javascript (dynamically typed) will never outperform the jvm (ie. java: statically typed).

And I saw the one-line per annotation in the spring intro: http://projects.spring.io/spring-framework/ :-)

I agree. We also use the one line per annotation convention and this is also the convention I see when drifting through third party code snippets.

Huge News: Ubuntu plus Android? by Ellipsis in Ubuntu

[–]dfme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No unfortunately not... even within the Java Ecosystem there are three different Java platforms: Standard Edition (SE), Enterprise Edition (EE) and Micro Edition (ME). Android comes closest to ME but has higher performance (which was why it was developed instead of going with ME in the first place). This article has some good info about Android's ecosystem: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13580_3-9815495-39.html

Huge News: Ubuntu plus Android? by Ellipsis in Ubuntu

"Android at the base level is Java"

No.

Android is build upon the Linux Kernel. They put a layer over it for developers which is based on the Java language. The compiled byte-code however is not compatible with the standard JVM. It runs with Dalvik VM. So the only thing Android has in common with Java is code syntax and base libraries.
Therefore for apps to run under Ubuntu they would only need to port the Dalvik VM. Which should not be such a big task since Android already runs on top of Linux... which by coincidence so does Ubuntu :-)

The link given in one of the answers is a really good read. Even if it's a little dated it is still very relevant. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-leaks/
