2013/4/29-5/18 [Computer/SW/Languages/C_Cplusplus, Computer/SW/Compilers] UID:54665 Activity:nil | 4/29 Why were C and Java designed to require "break;" statements for a
"case" section to terminate rather than falling-through to the next

reminds me of java-meets python, and well, that is fitting given it's
a GOOG product. What is so special about it?

Java/Python.

at UCB ugrad cs, probably replaced emacs. Furthermore, people get
angry at seeing Makefiles, (since eclispe takes care of that). I
guess it's just a sign of the times.
\_ The more people at my work use eclipse the less the code is
managable in emacs. I'm not sure which application's fault
