The Kotlin Programming Language
Kotlin is a new JVM language under development by JetBrains. That's the company that makes IntelliJ IDEA, the well-regarded Java IDE. According to JetBrains, the main design goals behind this project are: to make Kotlin compile as fast as Java, make it safer than Java, i.e. statically check for common pitfalls such as null pointer dereference, make it more concise than Java by supporting local type-inference, first-class functions (closures), extension functions, mixins and first-class delegation, etc; and, keeping the useful level of expressiveness; and make it way simpler than the most mature competitor—Scala.
Linux Journal Goes 100% Digital
We're going all-digital. That's the news. Starting with our next issue, #209, we're going off-rack and off-mailbox, but staying on-email and on-Web, where we can grow and improve. It's the only path open to us, but it's also a good one. Hang with me as I explain why. (See also Experience the New Linux Journal for details about the new format.)

How to write a Linux distribution review.
"...At least in my opinion, a review of something, being it a movie, a Linux distribution, or even a Hotel, the review should be written in such a way, that a reader can have a good idea of what he is going to find, once he decided to test the reviewed object by himself..."
LinuxCon North America 2011
As most are already aware, LinuxCon North America 2011 is taking place this week in Vancouver, Canada. What makes this year's Linux Foundation conference special is that it's celebrating the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Linux kernel by Linus Torvalds. Here are some photos from the special event.
What HP Should Do With WebOS?
The Palm Pre line of smartphones and the new TouchPad tablet computer, are very good products, but they have not been doing well in the market place. Apple, with iPhone and the iPad, has a near choke-hold on that market segment. HP has thus decided to either spin-off the business unit that WebOS and its devices are part of, or explore "other transaction." That is another way of saying, if the first option does not succeed, we will sell it. But rather than those two options, here's what I think HP should do with WebOS.

However, Python has been around since 1991 and the growth in popularity of this stable and comprehensive high level programming language, especially in the Linux user domain, would indicate that it is here to stay.
