Recently, I have been thinking about Java and Moving Beyond Java. I ruminated aloud in a couple of Audioboos<\/a> and so here are a summarised listable version of these thoughts and ideas.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Java <\/h2>\n
    \n
  • The Mother Language \u2013 Lingua franca of the Java Virtual Machine platform <\/li>\n
  • Java SE 7 <\/li>\n
  • Java SE 8 <\/li>\n
  • Work related. Programming language is risk-averse, it changes slowly and carefully. Oracle steward ensure that it is safe. Business owners and web site owners will be able hire or contract. <\/li>\n
  • A de-facto programming language for new learners, students of computer science <\/li>\n
  • Die-hard stalwarts can stick with Java the programming language, because eventually some of the benefits of the other languages could make it into Java ecosystem as frameworks and libraries <\/li>\n
  • Performance-related Java programming: There is a native-like programming approach for writing Java applications like they do C++ \/ Speed performance <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Beyond Java on the JVM<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Neil Ford, Ted Newark and Myself are examples of external luminaries (the forces) that are telling you why you should be thinking about moving beyond Java <\/li>\n
    • Continued learning <\/li>\n
    • Reduction of Boilerplate (Almost all)<\/li>\n
    • Declarative programming (JavaFX Script) <\/li>\n
    • Ease-of-Development <\/li>\n
    • Dynamic typing (Groovy) <\/li>\n
    • Scripting language approach <\/li>\n
    • Closures (Almost all)<\/li>\n
    • Control abstractions (Scala)<\/li>\n
    • Improved concurrency models parallel algorithms, actor, CSP and software transactional memory <\/li>\n
    • Better simple abstract data types (case classes and objects in Scala)<\/li>\n
    • Better language support for immutable object (@Immutable in Groovy)<\/li>\n
    • Better annotations (Groovy has loads)<\/li>\n
    • Some languages support an object functional approach (Scala, Groovy, Fantom)<\/li>\n
    • Other object functional languages may support Higher order functions (Scala, Clojure)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
