Thu, 23 Feb 2012 01:56:52 +0000

My answer to the question: what programming language should I use? Also answers the question: when should I use programming language X? The above is, obviously, IMHO.

So I moved back to the command line. [...] Related posts:

Fri, 05 Nov 2010 20:10:39 +0000

Edit: Updated version of the script here. Here’s a nifty little Groovy script to write out the ASM code to generate a given Java class. #!/usr/bin/env groovy import org.objectweb.asm.util.ASMifierClassVisitor as V import org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader as R @Grab(group='asm', module='asm-all', version='[3.3,)') private class JustHereForGrab {} new R(new File(this.args[0]).newInputStream()).accept(new V(new PrintWriter(System.out)), 0) You will have to [...] Related posts:
