in java to set a variable to a string mutable requires using the string
bulder class. but in perl you can just do this
$a = "hello";

in java to print that string you have to do this

System.out.println(a);

but in perl you just do this

print $a;

java is a staticly typed single pardigram languige thats why it sucks

When will trolls learn how to spell?

Ditto.

i'll have to direct my manager to this post .

You nead a 100 meg IDE because the languige is so bad that you nead
code completion and code check because of a crummy languge

you must have java mixed up with VB.net
we (can) use dos edit to write code, compile, and run java programs.

Anyway, we were all wondering what you thought about java, and by george,
you were nice enough to post your opinion. Don't forget to tell the other
99,000+- newsgroups as well, and let us know when you have written an office
suite in Perl (like OpenOffice.org has in Java). Have fun in your adventures
in perl.

Er, your point is sound but your example's not. The majority of
OpenOffice.org is written in C++. It is possible to write add-ons in
Java, Python and one or two other languages though.

oops - my bad. I thought open office.org was written in Java since it
originated at Sun.
Yeah I almost tried Jython to check it out.
OTOH perl is a great language, I especially like its treatment of Regular
expressions and the way you can throw a variable into a double-quoted
string. But its not made for the larger projects.

$a has a special meaning in sort(), therefore it is poor practice to use is
as a generic variable.
You may want to pick a different name.

Open Office has its roots in StarOffice, which was originally developed by
the German company Star Division, who were later purchased by Sun. Star
Office still exists as a commercial version of Open Office with some added
features.

Corel produced a Java office suite in the late 90s. It was not a big
success. It would be much more feasible now with the huge strides Java
has made in terms of performance and GUI toolkits, not to mention the much
more capable machines we have these days.

Yeah, that's what $foo was designed for.
