    Today Java overtook C++ as the language with most projects on SourceForge! Here is the current list for languages with more than 1000 projects: 1. Java (16738 projects) 2. C++ (16731 projects) 3. C (15934 projects) 4. PHP (12175 projects) 5. Perl (6209 projects) 6. Python (4542 projects) 7. C# (2892 projects) 8. JavaScript (2779 projects) 9. Visual Basic (2192 projects) 10. Delphi/Kylix (1926 projects) 11. Unix Shell (1845 projects) 12. Assembly (1608 projects) 13. PL/SQL (1145 projects) ----- First comment in the blog: Yes, you are right. This is a turning point in history when Java overtook all other languages in producing piles of animal excrement. Seriously, how many useful Java projects have you seen on s***forge? Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion worked Atlanta Flames games in the 1970s with the splendid Jiggs McDonald. One night, Geoffrion said, "Jiggs, there are only three things to hockey: shooting and skating." McDonald said, "Right, Boomer. And what's the third?" The exasperated Geoffrion replied," Jiggs, that's the three. Shooting. And. Skating."

      Jesus... Whats the world coming too?? ;P I've tried time and time again to get into the whole Java thing, but it just doesn't make sense to me... So until it does...I'll stick with C++ and PHP :) It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!

          Frankly, I am surprised it didn't happen sooner. Java is the most popular programming language today. Also, it is much easier to learn than C++. Of course, I still have to see a decent Java desktop application, but on the server side Java is COBOL of 21st century. Having said all that, I'll stick to C++ for the time being - Java is boring :)

            I use Azureus on a daily basis. It's a nifty BitTorrent client with an easy to use UI. I've occassionally used the Eclipse IDE. Several websites use some useful Java applets: for example, just the other day I went to speakeasy to test my connection speed. They used a Java applet for that. My wife and father in law use EA.com's Pogo games, which are all built in Java and run in your browser; no installation required. Online game provider WildTangent also has used Java extensively in their games. I believe Yahoo does the same for many of their online, casual games as well. As another poster mentioned, lots of mobile device software is built in Java as well.

                Of course. I even developed a small English-Italian-English translator. Nice. It has to perform a linear search because 500 KB of memory are not enough to load the whole data and perform some binary search. So when you search, eg, the word 'awesome', it takes 10 seconds to get the result. But if you search 'abacus', only 1 or 2. Except Opera Mobile (anyway not available everywhere) and a few other 'useful' programs (what program? I can't remember anyone), J2ME produces only videogames. ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA] SETI@home Team: U-SETI@Polimi

                    You can create a small index file, so you can do a binary search. I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

                              Is that the list of the number of projects, or the number of active projects? I'd like to see a list of the number of projects added in the last year... cheers, Chris Maunder

                                  Index? What Index? The problem is that the dictionary has one file per letter (a, b, c, d, ...) and for each language (Italian, English). Each file contains a list such as (word, translation) There is no data to be indexed. Alternatively the index can be big like a half (roughly) of the whole dictionary, ie 600 KB (the whole dictionary, excluding the JAR, is about 1200 KB). Anyway, I consider the dictionary completed. Moreover, I don't use Java until 6 or more months ago... ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA] SETI@home Team: U-SETI@Polimi

                                    I use Azureus on a daily basis. It's a nifty BitTorrent client with an easy to use UI. I've occassionally used the Eclipse IDE. Several websites use some useful Java applets: for example, just the other day I went to speakeasy to test my connection speed. They used a Java applet for that. My wife and father in law use EA.com's Pogo games, which are all built in Java and run in your browser; no installation required. Online game provider WildTangent also has used Java extensively in their games. I believe Yahoo does the same for many of their online, casual games as well. As another poster mentioned, lots of mobile device software is built in Java as well.

                                      Is that the list of the number of projects, or the number of active projects? I'd like to see a list of the number of projects added in the last year... cheers, Chris Maunder

                                      There is no way to filter by activity, though you can show by langauge and development status In that case Java scores 3183 with Development Status: 5 - Production/Stable http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove\_list.php?form\_cat=198&discrim=11 C++ 2994... http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove\_list.php?form\_cat=165&discrim=11 hmm, not the results you were looking for ;)

                                        Today Java overtook C++ as the language with most projects on SourceForge! Here is the current list for languages with more than 1000 projects: 1. Java (16738 projects) 2. C++ (16731 projects) 3. C (15934 projects) 4. PHP (12175 projects) 5. Perl (6209 projects) 6. Python (4542 projects) 7. C# (2892 projects) 8. JavaScript (2779 projects) 9. Visual Basic (2192 projects) 10. Delphi/Kylix (1926 projects) 11. Unix Shell (1845 projects) 12. Assembly (1608 projects) 13. PL/SQL (1145 projects) ----- First comment in the blog: Yes, you are right. This is a turning point in history when Java overtook all other languages in producing piles of animal excrement. Seriously, how many useful Java projects have you seen on s***forge? Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion worked Atlanta Flames games in the 1970s with the splendid Jiggs McDonald. One night, Geoffrion said, "Jiggs, there are only three things to hockey: shooting and skating." McDonald said, "Right, Boomer. And what's the third?" The exasperated Geoffrion replied," Jiggs, that's the three. Shooting. And. Skating."

                                          The Sun JRE came pre-installed in their Windows XP installations. As I recall, this was part of the Sun v. MS lawsuit settlement several years ago.
