@To who ever the moron who copied and pasted above from proggit: I don’t wanna discuss/argue stuff that’s posted on proggit on my blog. Please, do your arguments there. This post was not a “contribution to the debate”. You’ll see a very different style of presentation if I was trying to “contribute”. I cannot grasp why these idiots don’t get it no matter how many times I said this is an effing joke. I would not hesitate to delete if anyone copy pasted from proggit with spam links such as above.

The whole “lines of code” criteria for programming languages is at best a minor point of style, but this article is quite possibly the stupidest “contribution” to the debate I’ve ever seen. “”.join([line.strip() for line in open("server.cert")][1:-2]) OK, very nice. Nothing wrong with that. Except it has no real meaning for the next developer that comes along, who won’t know the meaning of the -2, for example. In Java, such things might require a method of their own. And that’s a good thing, it means the code will look like: String cert = loadCertFile(); The method will contain handy comments about why, how, and error handling for the event of the file not being there. The calling method will be easier to read. Who could possibly be opposed to that? Oh yes, the kind of pseudo-elitist who spends more time tripping over other developers than actually getting something built.

@Ruby Monkey: Spot on dude, I’m just a “fan boy”, yada yada yada. Sorry, I cannot comprehend some of the sentences.

Thanks for the IDE lesson, will surely keep that in mind. Yawn.

Oh, in case you don’t really know why I asked for IDE, IDE is not only the editor, it also has debug, trace, build, syntax validating…

as you said, it just meant to be a joke, why you got soo angry? Is that “Ruby or you or both are sucks, you can use it to write it’s own IDE” offend you?

Btw, did you use ruby in any production?
what kind of system?
do you use it in Banking system?
or just a personal website?
if it’s personal website, I might go PHP first.

Actually I was using VI before I use netbean, I used emacs sometime, but anyway, none of them were written in Ruby, pretty shame, huh?

Visual Studio 2008 has a Iron Ruby plugin, and that’s not written in ruby too.

Also Ruby use green thread, so even you use thread in your code, it still a fake one. pretty sad.

To me Ruby is still a toy. and some dude like you blind with “one line is better than anything else”. wondering before ROR, did you use Ruby?

I think you are just a Ruby “fan boy”.

@Jeff: Stephan has missed the whole point of this post for some bizarre inexplicable reason and even blogged about it where he claims to have written a set of Java classes in 20 minutes that does the same thing. I'm quite humbled by the length he went into teach me about method chaining. That's the post x used to copy and paste the line (as mentioned by Stephan).

I am curious about x and what he is playing at. That is not Java and will not produce any results.

1) There is no open method on java.io.File. So, File.open is not valid.
2) In Java you need a main method at minimum to put your code in.
3) To use pretty much anything you need to import classes from packages.
4) To do *anything* with files in Java you need try catch blocks because of the brilliant exception strategy in Java.

So, the post by X really just a troll post. There is no one line of java that is executable and can produce a result. It is not a scripting language.
