Features: As is well known, the choice of language and development tools often ultimately affects the sales of operating systems and server software. The popularity of VB has played a significant role in Microsoft's success. Similarly, the significance of Java for the non-Microsoft camp is self-evident. In response to the fierce momentum of C#, Sun's countermeasure was the Rave (meaning "roar," as Sun's recent project names have all been aggressively named, such as MadHatter, translated as "Fury" by domestic media) plan, which directly targeted VB, much like a "besiege Wei to rescue Zhao" strategy. In the tech industry, one cannot live without reading tech journals, especially in the ever-changing IT world. Otherwise, it's like prematurely drawing a line to one's career. DDJ, CUJ, WDJ, SDM (note), like my old friends, I have been reading them for over 15 years—since I entered the field of computer science. Therefore, I believe your magazine should focus on new technologies as the main theme, supplemented by articles on technical or management models that readers enjoy. Articles about languages should be reduced but not completely eliminated. This is the only way to capture our attention. In this issue, the language-related content, such as the excessive number of C++ articles, even made me, a reader who enjoys C++, feel overwhelmed.
