At dinner last week we talked about doing some short talks this time to get some more people involved. Dave volunteered to do a talk on something Java-related. (Sorry, I forget the exact topic.) I'll do a talk on how Memoize.pm made my program run an order of magnitude *slower*. --- I'll be talking about my work on Art Of Illusion, and which parts Java made un-necessarilly hard and which parts it made easy. I'll be thinking about how we can bring the benefits of Java to Perl. And maybe about how we can bring the benefits of Perl to Java. So, an outline: I. The AoI texturing system Modules, etc ExprModule II. The AoI color chooser The joy of simplicity. API cruft: Adjustable AWTEventMulticaster III. What was easy vs. what was hard. What could we do to improve the hard stuff (except we can't improve Java). How we can get Perl I can pick just one of (I, II) if we need more time. -- -[Dave Turner Stalk me: (215)-545-2859] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Error: The method "java.lang.Object newInstance();" can throw the checked exception "java/lang/IllegalAccessException", but its invocation is neither enclosed in a try statement that can catch that exception nor in the body of a method or constructor that "throws" that exception. **Majordomo list services provided by PANIX <URL:http://www.panix.com>** **To Unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe phl" to majordomo@lists.pm.org**
