You know, guys, I've just lost interest in Scheme. I'll lurk in the Yahoo Groups for the day when wingdings chooses a new topic. I'm withdrawing from the...
Everyone- I have a proposal for the Wing Ding: Scrub the JDK. I've been intrigued George's pair-programming group. I'd like to get some hand's on experience...
At the last Wingding meeting the question was raised: "Should we continue with Scheme?" While we contemplate the options, there will be no meetings in...

Hello All, I've been lurking for a while... Jason interviewed me once, caught my interest, and I've been lurking ever since. Work took me up to Bellingham, so...
Howdy- Thanks to Stuart Maclean for the nudge. I removed the spam from the archive. Also, now only members can post to Wing Ding. Fingers Crossed, Jason...
Howdy- Slava Pestov, the jEdit guy, recently posted this entry. The HotSpot source code is a bad joke http://www.jroller.com/page/slava/20050102 I tried to...
... Preprocessors are *hip* baby. Java5 has one called apt. Yeah, sure, we call them "annotation processors" now, but hey, once a duck, always a duck. I also...
I don't know. Constructive criticism is always welcome. This was a rant and provides little useful information. Perhaps it serves as a warning but, still, I...
Hi Wilhelm Fitzpatrick- ... Generating bytecodes on the fly for reflectively invoked methods is utter coolness. But that may not be what's happening. Here's...
Hi Robert Kuhar- It certainly was a rant. It got my attention. So I guessed it worked. <grin> I cited Pestov because it both validated my own experience and...
... I'd be interested in your commentary on the classic Joel on Software "Don't Rewrite" article: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html...
... I'd be willing to go out on limb and say that a big reason for that is that the Apache source tree is the subject of daily public inspection, and Sun's...
Hi Wilhelm Fitzpatrick- ... Ah. Joel Spolsky. I can't decide if I'm conflicted or ambivalent about his advice. <grin> I possess the standard geek snobbery...
... Wow. Now isn't that statement pretty much hitting the nail right on the head. I guess that it is an argument for Open Sourcing the whole damn thing. My...
Hi Wilhelm Fitzpatrick- ... Oops. Two more points. I forgot to challenge Joel's skepticism about bit rot. Source code does deteriate with age. For all sorts...
... I mostly agree with your points, but I would express one clarification. It is not that old code that rots. It is that platform shift out from underneath...
I missed this tidbit the first time around: Open Letter to Sun from Eric Raymond http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/5961 "...epecially when IBM's intention to...
