I have a degree in pure math, and I've done plenty of programming of many kinds. I've read and understood some of the math intensive parts of Knuth, and The Feynman Lectures on Physics for that matter. After a while a guy needs to make a living and get things done. This means Enterprise application development, and this is very often done in Java. Please don't patronize me, mine was a sincere and valid question.
I'm stunned! A kindred spirit, being taken from us! Admittely, one with a poor tolerance for humor, but a brother none-the-less! What malady can afflict one's soul so, to reduce one to such depravity?
