Join us for an another semi informed, highly subjective, and quite possibly wrong on all counts discussion about Java, Jigsaw.

Revised Jigsaw Spec - reflective access allowed by default, I'm calling it Project Glass Tile - everything is transparent and smoothly fitting together again ( if not using Modules ) - cough - yeh right says the Tui advert.

Apoligies one and all for the late episode delivery, our host/engineer/pulisher ( aka me, Mark ) was off galavanting taking photos of Living Colour, Greenday, and Devin Townsend this week and got waylaid in editing/publishing the show!

May 05, 2016Illegal Argument #140
Lately it seems we've been rather busy to record, so it was good to finally get 2/3's of us together to actually record, and discuss languages from a less argumentative level ( no wild type theory arguments or build rants ) even tho some of those familiar topics arose in passing.

Most of this weeks discussion revolve around a series of videos, or posts that Greg had recently watched:

Go and Quasar: a comparison of style and performance

"Evidence-Oriented Programming" by Andreas Stefik — Strange Loop 2015

"Feet in Both Worlds: From Objective-C to Swift" by Andy Matuschak — Strange Loop 2015

Wrapping Clojure Tooling in Containers - Mark Mandel — Clojure Conj 2015

Later in the episode we discuss my recent foray into learning/using ANTLR 4 and comparing it to jparsec and parboiled.
