Chris Sells: I have always turned up my nose at run-time type checking until I realized (and this is the insight I got from Tim's talk) that *all* marshaling-based type checking is done at run-time. Excellent!
Now for fun: what is '1' + '2'? The answer may surprise you. C# and Java agree (insert obvious joke here), but get a different answer than C, Perl, or Python do (which get three different answers). Here's some test programs.
| C# |
public class test {
public static void Main(string[] args) {
System.Console.WriteLine('1' + '2');
}
} |
| Java |
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println('1' + '2');
}
} |
