Lately, I’ve seen some job posts in the local newspapers which seek for senior .NET developers and senior Java developer who have at least 4 years of experience in .NET/Java, and feel a little bit dissatisfied with them. Read more…
Java 5.0 and .NET 2.0 both support generic types, however, the implementations of generic in these platforms are different. Java makes use of a technique called “code sharing” in which there is just one type to represent all generic versions of that type, for example: ArrayList<Integer> and ArrayList<String> are both compiled down to ArrayList as the compiler perform erasure on generic types. On the other hand, .NET makes use of “JIT code specialization” technique in which there is a separate run-time representation of each version of a generic type (i.e. List<int> and List<string> both have unique representations at run-time).

Now, they even make a C#-2-JavaScript compiler, besides the GWT on the Java space. Guys, the next step is to completely eliminate all JavaScript we have to write, including those embedded in the HTML pages, port as many JavaScript libraries to .NET and Java as possible and vice versa, and make those libraries browser-independent. The point is to make JavaScript and its infamous browser-incompatibility problem completely transparent from application developers. By doing that, developers do not have to care about JavaScript any longer and it will become the machine language of the browsers. I do not care about the machine code since the appearance of Java and C#, neither do I want to care about JavaScript if you guys decide to generate it from Java/C#.
