[vox] article relating to Java and GNU

I found this article interesting. 

Why Java Isn't Dead On Ubuntu

Eric pointed out that applets don't run with IcedTea on Ubuntu 10.04
from processing.org, but as Bill noted it does work on 11.10. Hopefully,
someday we can get Gnome 2 with a good working version of OpenJDK
and IcedTea.

Templates and Generics just seem better in Java. But, I am sure it is
not the end all and some day we will all be Scheme (or some dialect of
prefix operation) coders!

Just give me my grammar and call me program!

Or, maybe we should live in a postfix world?

"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
