About Alex
I do UNIX stuff for a living.
- 01/09/10Pro: Very stable and runs on multiple platforms. Lots of great tools to debug and monitor applications. Simple to write multi-threaded apps that can use all cores on a server. Easy to add 3rd party tools.
Con: Really easy to write slow and/or bloated code if you don't understand what you are doing (e.g. poor use of Strings).
pro/con added to Java - 01/09/10Pro: I suppose it is better then a kick in the crotch.
Con: Ugh... Microsoft...
pro/con added to Axum - 01/09/10Pro: Nothing is better than Old Man Perl for writing quick throw away scripts. In a knife fight, perl would beat the other interpreted languages.
Con: Being so easy and forgiving, it is really easy to write garbage code that is unreadable by evening time.
pro/con added to Perl - 01/09/10Pro: easy and fine for quick scripts.
Con: slow, unstable, and leaky. stinks under really high load. terrible multi processor/core use. not great for large scale websites without a lot of jerry-rigging.
pro/con added to Python - 12/29/09Pro: At some point the movie ends
Con: This movie sucked hard... Very disappointing after Casino Royale
pro/con added to Quantum of Solace (2008)
