Journal Journal: Slashdot reality check. 1
I haven't experienced any outrageous modding lately, I guess it was time for a reality check. Oh well, nothing like going against the slashdot groupthink. I thought it was obvious that nobody wanted to write applications in C or C++ anymore? Has nobody looked at projects like gedit and mozilla and wondered why they were doing all this weird shit that didn't even look like C anymore? Proper technologies like smalltalk are all too obviously the way of the future once we get more multi-core chips around but don't tell that to the slashdot dolts that pine for the days of their shitty 386. I had a 286, it sucked, why do these guys have to be so nostalgic? I can kind of understand why they might want better leaner code; but the levels of virtualization such as in C#, java, smalltalk, etc are here to stay.
