12:29 dreamreal bad article based on a misleading survey :/ might be fully valid but the methodology is broken
12:38 Para It's like finding India.
13:55 cheeser was it missing?
14:16 hourfrozen is libgdx worth it
14:18 cheeser worth every penny
14:21 hourfrozen cool
14:27 dreamreal huh, new xom release
14:27 dreamreal ~xom
14:27 javabot dreamreal, xom is an open source (LGPL), tree-based API for processing XML with Java that strivesfor correctness, simplicity, and performance, in that order. http://www.xom.nu/
14:33 cheeser whoa! talk about your xombie...
14:34 dreamreal It's surprising and kinda cool - I'd forgotten xom was a thing thanks to jackson and, well, XML
14:34 Chronos "strivesfor" oopsie daisy
14:36 dreamreal Someone should fix that. :D
14:38 cheeser xom was great, honestly. better than jdom by miles.
14:38 dreamreal yep. 100%
14:38 dreamreal I just rarely work with XML directly any more, and if I do, it's via jackson
14:38 cheeser yep
14:39 dreamreal EXML was the best XML API I ever worked with, then xom, then xstream, then jackson, then whatever the w3c came up with dead last
14:43 cheeser pretty much anything under w3c was shit
14:43 cheeser LCD and all that
14:50 sbalmos but I miss the days of us railing on about XML namespace asshattery
14:53 comrad https://github.com/ngallagher/simplexml was nice back then
16:46 Swayze trad coding is great for nostalgic purposes
18:09 Tenchi heh, jetbrains added remote dev to the toolbox app, so you can actually do remote dev to a macos machine
18:09 Tenchi i'd been bitching about this every so often for a long time and totally missed that they added it last year at some point
