- Ted Neward responds to Dr Dobbs potshots at Oracle/J7 bugs
- he is wrong in that the first bug related to the issue was the 13th of May. Not 5 days. And they could have just turned the flag off by default - in 5 days. Or a month as the case may be.

Groovy
- Gaelyk 1.0
- Groovy with a static mode - I think the chosen name is extremely rude and obnoxious
- “Not being statically typed is a connoisseurs criticism, and connoisseurs generally chase after things that are interesting rather than good”
- “In my opinion there are three large barriers to Groovy adoption in the mainstream: performance, tooling, and bugs”
- Jochen clarified saying the mode would be @StaticTyped or similar and would not provide anything other than compilation errors - no performance improvements. Much of the work is already done in Eclipse so it would be pulling that out.
Patent Talk
- Microsoft reveals they invited Google to the consortium to buy the Novell patents - Google saw it as a trap (groklaw) as did everyone else.
