"Computer Swedens developer columnist Tobias Fjälling the other day answered the question “What should a good development environment include?”. (Måsten i en bra utvecklingsmiljö - Computer Sweden). Tobias list: Auto-complete Refactoring Navigationsupport Extendability Speed Debugger Code templates I find this to be spot on what Ola wrote about the other day which I already quoted: It’s interesting, many Java programmers talk so much about tools, but they never seem to think about their language as a tool."

"Ola is so spot on with this one: A New Hope: Polyglotism: “The one thing that I am totally sure if is that we need better tools. And the most important tool in my book is the language. It’s interesting, many Java programmers talk so much about tools, but they never seem to think about their language as a tool. For me, the language is what shapes my thinking, and thus it’s definitely much more important than which editor I’m using."

"I cannot help myself from making a small comment on Rick Hightowers post on Groovy vs JRuby. In short he thinks Sun should support Groovy instead og JRuby, because the syntax is familiar to Java programmers. To support his case he presents a chart showing language popularity according to job postings. And since Ruby is at the bottom and Java is on the top, Sun should support Groovy. Which by the way is not even on the chart."
