Why I Will Not Use Java

This post is quite old. I wrote it back in 2010, when I realized Java's main drawback is its verbosity. I didn't expand my thoughts, 'cause I was too engaged at work with C, Objective-C and Python. But in these days I read some articles about Java 8 and I felt very disappointed, 'cause it lacks some features, some snippets and doesn't resolve Java's main drawbacks.

Java Language is Verbose

Java Language is verbose, in the worst way you can say it, mainly for two reasons.

Lua vs Python or Embedding vs Extending

Another (in)famous comparison!

At least once in your programmer career, you will face the need to add a scripting language to your program. Many famous programs use a scripting language: Unreal, Quake, Emacs, Blender 3D and many games. But, when you decide it and when you start to project your implementation, you face a terrible dilemma: should you make a program with a interpreter or functions for a interpreter? This crossroad is the "embed vs extend". I'll talk about my personal opinion and how this dilemma is equal by Lua vs Python comparison.

Welcome on Aquamacs Emacs!

First post of 2012. I'm sorry for this, but I have really a lot of work to do!

Emacs is one of most famous Free-Software project. It's the first brick posed by Stallman for the GNU project and the most favourite editor for real programmers. Ok... VIM is equally famous, but I choosed Emacs for my jobs! Aquamacs Emacs is a Emacs implementation designed to run on Mac OS X systems. Maybe Mr. Stallman could hate me to advertising this program, but I hope he forgive me, because I think this "trojan horse strategy" could be successful. Anyway, let's talk about this good piece of software.
