. . . [T]urning now to the Government of men. Witenagemote, old Parliament, was a great thing. The affairs of the nation were there deliberated and decided; what we were to do as a nation. But does not, though the name Parliament subsists, the parliamentary debate go on now, everywhere and at all times, in a far more comprehensive way, out of Parliament altogether? Burke said there were Three Estates in Parliament; but, in the Reporters' Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they all. It is not a figure of speech, or a witty saying; it is a literal fact,--very momentous to us in these times. Literature is our Parliament too. Printing, which comes necessarily out of Writing, I say often, is equivalent to Democracy: invent Writing, Democracy is inevitable. Writing brings Printing; brings universal everyday extempore Printing, as we see at present. Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. the requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite. The nation is governed by all that has tongue in the nation: Democracy is virtually there. Add only, that whatsoever power exists will have itself, by and by, organized; working secretly under bandages, obscurations, obstructions, it will never rest till it get to work free, unencumbered, visible to all. Democracy virtually extant will insist on becoming palpably extant. . . .

努力すらできない本当にダメな奴からしたらとても偉いよ。

惰性で続けることすらできない、ADD/ADHDじゃないかと疑いたくなるくらい続けるということが困難な自分にとっては、とても。

■一方Rubyは全てをオブジェクトにすることを選んだ

テンプレートなんて概念すらない

def add(x,y)

　x+y

end

p add(1,2) # => 3

p add("1","2") # => "12"

■クロージャの代りに無名クラスを使った場合

元記事:

こんな感じですか？

public interface Executable <T> {
    void execute(T argument);
}

public class IterationExecutor<T> {
    private Collection<T> collection;
    public IterationExecutor(Collection<T> collection) {
        this.collection = collection;
    }
    public IterationExecutor(T[] array) {
        this.collection = new ArrayList<T>();
        Collections.addAll(this.collection, array);
    }
    public void each(Executable<T> e) {
        for(T element: collection) {
            e.execute(element);
        }
    }
}

public class IntegerBuffer {
    private int value = 0;   
    public IntegerBuffer(int value) {
        this.value = value;
    }
    public void add(int number) {
        this.value += number;
    }
    public int getValue() {
        return this.value;
    }
}

public class Sample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final IntegerBuffer total = new IntegerBuffer(0);
        new IterationExecutor<Integer>(new Integer[]{1,2,3,4,5}).each(
            new Executable<Integer>(){
                public void execute(Integer it) {
                    total.add(it);
                }
            });
        System.out.println(total.getValue());
    }
}

importなどは省略しました。

Sample以外は再利用可能なので……いやどうだろう
