Cool yarns by Bruce Eckel ,

But the problem is to stay mainstream Java has got to add the features ,

thats the price , C# is now version 3

its like the arms race , and the unfortunate thing is that it has taken the shine of the achievements in other areas where java has really improved

The strenght of java was its consistency, yeah its no longer consistent

Personally i welcome some new java features like auto boxing and use of Generics with collections but other than that i might as well be using java 1.4

( The new concurrency API is also cool)

Good article @mosco.net

U see Ghenghis , try complete reading the whole list of artikus, u will greatly be enlightened ! I dont discriminate but
the way pple are responding to this Java vs C# issue is really annoying. Recently what I notice is that
most companies combine both developement platform, they hire .Net developers and Java developers as well,
so i dont see any reason 4 the noise about the issue, everything still boils down to interest , ease of use, faster development time, and exciting user experience. I love C# and I feel comfy with Java too,

@Mosco,
Great FUTARIAN, happy to know you are here.

@mosco.net
Are u Fosco computer science(500L) FUTA? Then if u are then u should guess who I am. Am in 400L, Gunners Fan, and a die-hard Java Programmer.

Open source rules, done bind ur life(codes) to M$ alone. Thatz very safe.

Gbam ! but i would replace this "I love C# and I feel comfy with Java too," with "I love Java though"!

fransois_1 how u dey ? ar u a futarian?
and u javaprince or javaboy or wetin u call urself, no problem
I lov C# and i would mind to give Java a second try
How do u feel abt that no yawa now !

unfortunately this is not really the case ,
though both languages are similar the communities are quite different, the development style and mentality also makes it difficult ,
I think its better to focus on one platform(You can know the other, skin deep) and chase a job with that ,
its not really common for a company searching of .NET developer to recruit a java one and vice versa except when they're not pressed for time(rare) or the subject really knows both platforms(Hmmmm ). Anyways the interviewer is also probably a specialist on only one of the platforms ,
Bottom line if is JAva you know ,know it well
if it C# know it well,
if its PHP, abeg learn jython

I hate all this arguements about which is better and which is not,

Why? my motto is simple, get the job done, get paid, everyone is happy

I am a fan of MySQL but if a client says Oracle why not as long as he is paying for it,

I have used at least most programming languages(although I stick with java), but the truth is if pascal will do the job well in lesser time why not?

A beg leave all these stories and go start earning some money,

Java And Nigerian Developers, dont miss out

I will not comment about the pros and cons of both languages. I haven't used C# but my girlfriend has and she makes a lot of noise about it.

I want us to start looking away from what this language can do and what it can't do debate. I want us to look at the new possibilities that both languages offer us.

The JVM is going to be around for a long long time, amazing languages are been created that runs on the JVM. These languages offer features, strengths and flexibility that both Java or C# don't offer us. Look at

www.scala-lang.org - Scala, a new functional and OOP language
http://clojure.sourceforge.net/ - You will love this if you use LISP

Personally, I am a python and C guy but like javarules said "What does it matter?", at the end of the day, the client want a working software.
