Python is pretty good as well.<br /><br />I'd say, learn Scala. It's much harder than any of the the other ones, but once you got that, you will not have problems with <br />functional languages again. <br /><br />Except maybe that you dont think they are as good as Scala.<br />My Java adventure is over for me for sure. Im done with it, only thing it does right it is pay the bills. <br />But Im moving away from it. Any language like Erlang, Groovy or Scala would be nice working in.Mikkel Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812927708333499754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289284958963644142.post-86376652457671124422011-01-20T09:21:01.683-08:002011-01-20T09:21:01.683-08:00Thanks all, for sharing your views.

Ya surely i missed Ruby (that was intentional) because i do not ruby will make a great tool in the developer's arsenal unless he learns Ruby on Rails (that's really awesome). <br />And there are just my way of prioritize my learning aspect in keeping view of the time, that we all had.panbhatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109600598430874932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289284958963644142.post-44005685831119751662011-01-20T05:40:14.342-08:002011-01-20T05:40:14.342-08:00Nice article buddy and nice options for Java devel...Nice article buddy and nice options for Java developers also but I say Java is java I have used python and not very impressed with it. the Object oriented feature of Java and able to run anywhere its great advantage.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Javin<br /><a href="http://javarevisited.blogspot.com/search/label/thread" title="deadlock in java and how to fix it" rel="nofollow">deadlock in java </a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289284958963644142.post-2718888766103367842011-01-20T02:18:36.180-08:002011-01-20T02:18:36.180-08:00It is sure interresing to invest in learning new l...It is sure interresing to invest in learning new languages.<br /><br />One must wonder why through. For me it is not for my business work. All is in JAVA or C++ here.<br /><br />And to be honnest has we have more than 13 millions code in JAVA today, I guess that we will not go to python on scala tomorrow !<br /><br />So basically I choosed to learn a new language for my pleasure in my freetime.<br /><br />Then I don't need to learn the next big language, but instead I can learn what appeal to me.<br /><br />So I choosed closure for now. Why ? Because it is lisp, and that is really different from other languages out there.<br /><br />Groovy as already said is JAVA++. Scala bring functionnal programming but I studied functionnal programming a lot at university.<br /><br />Clojure has like something more than scala. I do not say it is better, but it is more different than Scala compared to JAVA.<br /><br />It another way of programming really and the syntax is very easy. <br /><br />It is functionnal yes, but dynamically typed and I want to play with the "code as data" feature.<br /><br />It still benefits from the all the JAVA API so I can concentrate on the concept.<br /><br />I tried a little of python a few years ago. It is nice but then I have less appeal for it. I have read here and here that basically python is lisp with more syntax and without macros. I don't know, but I sure like the concepts of python.Foudreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977228915328575616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289284958963644142.post-37004040829981553962011-01-20T01:16:47.059-08:002011-01-20T01:16:47.059-08:00You forgot about Ruby.

JDK 7 was recently announced as feature complete and now they're focusing on the bug hunt :). Interesting post BTW! Our take on it is that Java developers will use a bunch of languages on the JVM (mainly Java, Groovy and Scala) to solve the problems of the future (rapid web development, concurrency etc). And now for the blatant book plug! We're writing a book about this, see http://www.java7developer.com for details!Martijn Verburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458162075331573781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289284958963644142.post-83418134348525218752011-01-20T00:52:18.821-08:002011-01-20T00:52:18.821-08:00Thanks for your good articleThanks for your good articleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915327317555464700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289284958963644142.post-60582233319394567952011-01-19T21:12:42.997-08:002011-01-19T21:12:42.997-08:00Thanks Tom,

In addition, the inclusion for some JSR's either has been not finalized for inclusion or included at the last moment.panbhatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109600598430874932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289284958963644142.post-26564900777695564052011-01-19T21:02:37.787-08:002011-01-19T21:02:37.787-08:00Java Release isn't scheduled for Summer 2012, ...Java Release isn't scheduled for Summer 2012, instead it is intended to be released in Summer 2011<br />http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08949078103564070776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289284958963644142.post-31219134869783332672011-01-19T18:40:20.189-08:002011-01-19T18:40:20.189-08:00Thanks, Weiler,Mike.

I have to use Java at work, and being my first language, I will always love Java... but Python is just so much better in any respect... clean, expressive language, and the libraries are nearly as good as Java's.
