Comparing the all-new-Ruby to legacy-Java you could be doing better than that.Georgihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14147510898520565363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332084453546036942.post-37736487187088018642008-06-02T16:12:00.000-07:002008-06-02T16:12:00.000-07:00@Peter Lawry --<BR/><BR/>I agree that IDEA makes Java almost nice to work in (and of the several Ruby IDEs I have tried, none comes close to IDEA for Java). Still, even though Andrew's observations about Ruby are taking a lot of flack on DZone, after coding in Java for years , I find the freedom of Ruby liberating for many of the same seemingly trivial reasons as Andrew.tomhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06009992484645543666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332084453546036942.post-33443998553314068702008-06-01T23:13:00.000-07:002008-06-01T23:13:00.000-07:00I can only guess you haven't been using IntelliJ. It does 1,2,3,4,5 for you.<BR/>Point 6 is a good point, but it can be easily supported in other ways.<BR/>Point 7, These are interesting points. Some of these features will be in Java 7 and other should be considered.<BR/><BR/>"you have to compile it!"<BR/><BR/>Actually, you don't have to compile Java and you can compile Ruby. This doesn't have anything to do with the language.<BR/>People compile their code because they don't have automated tests which checked that every line of code is valid. However I assume you don't care about whether your code would compile or not.Peter Lawreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17982030676088168612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332084453546036942.post-60370719240578597322008-06-01T07:51:00.000-07:002008-06-01T07:51:00.000-07:00You can't compare Java with Ruby,<BR/>Java is pretty faster, and you can use it everywhere.<BR/>For me Ruby is a bullshit, very nice code with very bad performance.<BR/><BR/>Did you like Ruby's sugar-code ?
