artima.com has posted the second in a series of interviews with Matz, the creator of Ruby, titled Dynamic Productivity with Ruby. 2:18:12 PM     I totally agree with Glenn Vanderburg's view in Wrong Turn that J2EE is a mess (and growing).  If you step back and look at the J2EE spec and its implementations you've got to be amazed at the complexity and size of it all.  There are way too many moving parts, many of which feel like they were built in isolation and later force-fit into the overall spec in order to quickly fill some missing feature. 1:15:39 PM     Python and the Tipping Point. Bruce Eckel says, "The main sources of productivity [when programming in Python] are that I am able to look at more lines of code on the screen, put more meaning into fewer lines of code, read and understand code more easily, and deal with higher level concepts." [Artima.com News & Ideas] 11:37:38 AM     Type Checking and Techie Control. Bruce Eckel says, "Once I get the program running, I feed it real data. Then I'm going to find some interesting errors. So the sooner I can do that, the sooner I can find those errors." [Artima.com News & Ideas] 11:37:11 AM
