After memory safety, what do you think is the next big step for compiled languages to take? "The future's not ours to see"
I know - each variable runs within its own virtual machine! Total safety from buffer overruns!

Compiled languages that let you write in scripted languages that are then compiled.
Oh wait...

Being safe from buffer overruns is like wearing a, ummm, oh, never mind. The damn thing can still break in other ways.

«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

A new update for .NET Framework is now available for the AppContext class. The behavior of the AppContext class was recently regressed. The update returns the class to the correct behavior. "You put your right leg in, you take your right leg out..."
Just in case you're wondering why your code just broke without you touching it.

It's the Rodney Dangerfield of computer programming, but COBOL is still in use—and really does deserve respect. Then you'll really hate it

Reminds me of some C code I wrote ages ago that took a few hours to figure out why the loop executed only once:
for (int i=0; i<10; i++);
{
}

I am still making that mistake. My brain just doesn't want to remember the correct order for some reason.

That loop executed 10 times, the following statement executed once.

Hence the reason why some people dislike terminating statements with a special symbol other than new line. If braces were always required for control statements then this kind of error would never occur.

Oracle continues to make progress Java EE 8, the enterprise edition for the Java platform, and moving forward it would like to advance Java EE within a more open and collaborative community. Horse, meet barn door

The InfoWorld headline is even better, right?
Oracle doesn't want Java EE any more; open source community does[^]
You think maybe Oracle took on Java simply so they could sue Google (deep pockets) because they thought a bunch of money was on the table? 
Now Java is just a burden with all them dev-users griping about functionality, support, etc..
