"Blizzard said that the OLPC may move to Java as it is close to native speeds thanks to Java's jit (Just in Time) compiler and Python's interpreter being rather slow." We would love to help. Amusing but Confusing I think this Contradiction, complete with evidence from a prior case that the class is indeed a contradiction, is a genuine and compelling example that should be cited by one of the reviewers. Babies, bath water and open platforms "an ecosystem is never the sum of its parts—it’s either a whole lot more or a whole lot less" Wow.
