Is garbage collection necessary? It's not "necessary", it's "just" very useful very often. |

Higher coding standards for dynamic languages? @miraculixx That's not confusion, that's deliberate conversion. |

Asking back technical questions during the interview (as the interviewee) @user61891 Why? It's a very reasonable answer. Don't fix what ain't broke. |

Should java developers know about garbage collection algorithms? Yes, they should. Otherwise they run the risk of writing software which breaks under heavy load. |

What are the factors that have made Java a success as a programming language in enterprise computing? @FrankShearar "It's vastly more complex than many other syntaxes out there: Smalltalk, Scheme, ML" - true, but among adult-life languages, you won't easily find a language with significantly simpler syntax than Java. |

What are the factors that have made Java a success as a programming language in enterprise computing? @ThorbjørnRavnAndersen Can't you use underscores instead of whitespace? |

What are the factors that have made Java a success as a programming language in enterprise computing? @ThorbjørnRavnAndersen Oh dear. Can't edit the comment now, sorry. Take it up with the SE crew. Oh, and did you consider having a shorter nic? "@ThorbjørnRavnAndersen" looks really weird at the beginning of the comment. And I think that 1 year ago, if my memory serves me well, automatic nick insertion did not work well with nicks which had whitespaces in them. |

How do you unit test private methods? @Phil Complex object graphs are also a code smell. |

Is there a point to writing in C or C++ instead of C# without knowing specifically what would make a program faster? Performance is not the only reason one may choose C++ over C#. |

Does it make sense to write build scripts in C++? @JarrodRoberson I used "scripts" too liberally. I mean its configuration files. I'm not sure if being declarative makes Maven automagically more portable and easier to maintain. It does make it less flexible though, which can be a pain in large projects. |
