Excuses, Excuses...

I forgot (as I always do), how much I loathe a lot of standard libraries.

This time round, java got the better of me.

I am converting the BNFT tool from C++ (where I spent years creating libraries circumventing the standard libraries follies), but start again fighting with the java library.

I could name a hundred examples, but to some extent all of this also has to do with personal preferences. However, I hope to demonstrate my point with Dawn, if I ever get that BNFT tool working, so I can start some real work. Having been working in C# the last couple of months, shows me why some people prefer it over java. I have been cursing over it, but not to the extent of this experience. C# is not an option though, since I want to target the JVM for cross platform support (and MS/Windows specific source/executables are not really cool).

Ah, it helped to vent at bit, but I would hope that I can get done soon with it.
