I’m spending most of today preparing for my upcoming Java SIG talk (Jan 6, Cubberley Community Center in Mountain View). The abstract for the talk is:
The rise of next-generation languages that run on top of the JVM is probably the most interesting thing to happen in the Java universe since the combination of the Spring [...]

For the past three years, I’ve been fairly low-profile. Almost no public speaking1, no articles or books, and very little community activity at all2
The reason was clear: I’ve got a 2.5 year old son and, as those of you with children know, they can absorb almost all your time. So, between the family and the [...]

From an e-mail I just got around to reading:
I am a PhD student from the University of Surrey focusing on software defect prediction using statistical models. In order to validate my model I need to conduct experiments on relatively error free java code. The banking example in your Java RMI book has been pointed out [...]

This weekend, I’ll be at No Fluff Just Stuff. For my money, still the best value in software conferences.
I used to speak for them, now I just attend. The price of becoming management, I guess.

Wow. Not only does Neal Gafter have a blog, he’s talking about some dramatic changes in Java for JDK 7.
Update: Oh dear. There’s a lot of traffic coming here from Neal’s blog. Apparently, people who read his post and are looking for more information. And all I was doing was saying “Hey. go read this.”
So, [...]

Krugle went live yesterday. It's a search engine "for code and technical content."
That is to say, vertical search focused at the software developer market. Very interesting to me because I often want such a thing. When you're hacking together a prototype, you often "google for code." Having a tool that's explicitly designed for this purpose [...]

Tim Bray has most of the story. Basically, when asked about open sourcing Java, Rich Green replied with "Why not?"
The part I found interesting was that Rich also said, more or less, that the "why not" was contingent on more community participation. I don't have the exact phrasing, but what he said was something along [...]

A little over four years ago, I wrote a series of articles deriving and describing a new datastructure (and associated algorithm) which I called a Hashbelt. Hashbelts have many nice properties. For one thing, they're easy to implement in almost any modern language. For another, they've also got some performance characteristics which make them close [...]

I recently went to a thought-provoking talk on how languages influence software architecture. And, while I wouldn't claim to understand the deep subtleties of programming languages and architecture better than Peter Seibel, I'm mostly convinced he's absolutely wrong when he claims LISP is a better programming language than Java.
I've run into a lot of people [...]
