Santa Switches From Cocoa to Java
Noted Cocoa Programmer Contemplates Switch to Java. I’m delighted to see that Apple plays a prominent role. Although…
The only cloud that darkened the otherwise illuminating visit occurred when the topic of Java 5 and Mac OS X came up. Santa’s brows furrowed, and he reached for a rather imposing PDA. It was difficult to see clearly, but it appears he placed coal icons next to several names.
It’s funny, nowhere in that article do they mention how they use Perl. Depends on who you talk to, I guess. It shouldn’t be too surprising that upper management is all about the Java, while the software engineers admit that they also use Perl extensively to help get the job done. Santa’s workshop is no exception in its diversity of languages and platforms.
