Java Vm Charles' title='Java Vm Charles' />Groovy, the Python of Java. I was a bona fide Java programmer for 5 years before I started working on Aleph Point and Parse. Studio 2010 Iso there. I truly believe that Python and Java. Script are fundamentally better languages than Java for a variety of reasons born out of experience with each of them. Note Before this gets marked as flamebait, please notice that not only was I Java programmer for more than 5 years, but I was also a Java open source contributor I have enormous respect for the Java open source community, which has produced some of the highest quality modules available anywhere.

Internet Explorer for Mac the Easy Way Run IE 7, IE8, IE9 Free in a Virtual Machine. Now, dont get me wrong Python also has batteries included, and usually, when I think that Im missing a great module I used to use in Java, it already exists in a much more powerful form in Pythons Standard Library or the wealth of modules on Py. PI, Git. Hub, and Bitbucket. However, I believe in not reinventing the wheel, and so if a great open source tool exists in Java, I will want to interact with it. One of these modules which we use extensively at Parse. Apache Solr, and its surrounding Lucene project modules. Lucene is an extremely mature framework for document indexing, and Solr is a powerful server ization of that technology that fits well into complex, mixed language distributed systems. I know there are efforts like Whoosh to build fast search engines atop the Python language. And I applaud these efforts more projects means more competition, and more competition means better products. However, I still believe that you go with the best of breed tools available for production software, and you try not to let religious arguments about programming language get in the way. Lately, I have come across more and more Java open source projects that have no equivalent in Python, and which I would like to access. Knowing that I wanted to feel comfortable incorporating Java open source projects beyond Solr, which was already nicely wrapped as a web service I, at first, thought that Id be forced to still live among the weeds of complex class and interface definitions, cumbersome Java IDEs, XML configuration files, and IMO time wasting rabbit holes like dependency injection, configuration management, and classpath hell.

Hi Charles, it looks like other people have the same problem and as well with the 2. Kind regards, Axel. And then I found Groovy. The most under rated language ever. Groovy was released as one of the earliest dynamic languages written atop the JVM, back in 2. I remember hearing about it back then and not taking it seriously, as we programmers often do with important, new technologies. I had the same ill feelings toward Java. Script until as late as 2. Java. Script programmer than a Java one In truth, had I read James Strachans blog post discussing why he created Groovy, I would have probably paid more attention. So Ive been musing a little while if its time the Java platform had its own dynamic language designed from the ground up to work real nice with existing code creatingextending objects normal Java can use and vice versa. PythonJythons a pretty good base add the nice stuff from Ruby and maybe sprinkle on some AOP features and we could have a really Groovy new language for scripting Java objects, writing test cases and who knows, even doing real development in it. I had thoughts like these back in my Java programming days, too. I would see features that were standard in other languages concise listmap syntax, bare functions that could live outside of class definitions, optionaldynamic typing, metaprogramming, a proper REPL, first class functions and think to myself, Arent we missing a whole lot by lacking these features in Java The more I started to code Python and Java side by side, the more I started to realize that many core Java technologies were basically created to cope with inadequacies of the language itself. Sewart Keygen. For example, unit testing frameworks and formal IDEdebuggers are more popular in Java than other languages because of the lack of the REPL dynamic language programmers tend to test their code from an interactive shell as a regular part of programming. Utility libraries like Apache Common Utils were created to cope with syntactic deficiencies around core types like lists and maps. And on and on. Groovy is a post modern language dynamic language. By that, I mean it is clearly inspired by and learns from the lessons of both Python and Ruby. It is also the worlds first programming language that was written to target an existing community of programmers. Let me explain. Python was not written to target C programmers or Visual Basic programmers. It was written as a new language altogether, not targeted at anyone in particular. However, Groovy was written to target Java programmers it is the dynamic language Sun should have built for the JVM as dynamic languages gained popularity and the Java language stagnated. Groovy is respectful of and cooperative with Java itself. One of its primary design goals is to live alongside existing Java code, even while Groovys syntax far surpasses that of Java. In this respect, Groovy plays a very similar role in the Java ecosystem that Python plays in the C ecosystem. However, unlike Python and Cs relationship, Groovys relationship with Java is bidirectional. What that means is that one can easily write Java libraries that execute Groovy code provided the Groovy Language is on the classpath as a JAR, and Groovy libraries can easily execute Java code. In fact, you can even have complex relationships among these two languages, such as Groovy classes serving as base classes for Java classes and vice versa. However, whats perhaps most astonishing about Groovy is that it truly got a whole lot of things right. That is, the language simply is extremely well designed, and specifically greased for programmer productivity. It learned from the mistakes of existing dynamic languages, and made a dynamic language that is truly the best of both worlds. When I introduced the language to an engineer on my team at Parse. This language was clearly designed by very, very lazy programmers. So true. Typing is a chore lets do less of it to code without sacrificing readability. Thats the Groovy way. Over the last several years, it has matured to the point where I feel extremely comfortable writing production code in Groovy, especially thanks to the surrounding ecosystem of the Grails project. Python is still my muse, but Groovy is my Winston Wolf. A famous character in the movie Pulp Fiction is Harvey Keitels Winston Wolf. Hes the underworld problem solver a guy who gets things done with a no nonsense attitude. Winston Wolf If Im curt with you, its because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast, and I need you two guys to act fast if you want to get out of this. Python is a beautiful language and will continue to be my language of choice for production code. However, I simply cant ignore the enormous wealth of production quality Java code that has been written for which there is no good Python equivalent. I also cant ignore the unbelievable engineering effort that went into making the JVM a powerful, scalable, and stable platform for production software. I thought Id have to throw this community away for myself and my companies due to the deficiencies of the Java language. However, I have come to realize that Groovy has proven itself the worthy successor to Java. IBM Journal of Research Development. Current issue. 20. Deep learningMany recent breakthroughs in areas ranging from speech and image recognition to game playing, autonomous vehicles, and medical diagnostics have been made possible by artificial intelligence techniques popularly known as deep learning. Deep learning is a branch of machine learning that usually makes use of multiple processing layers and hierarchical representations to drive the learning process. This issue of the IBM Journal of Research and Development emphasizes new applications, architectures, data sets, tools, and other technologies that advance the field in deep learning. In particular, this issue covers various practical applications e.
