What has happened to Fortress? Posted: 28 Aug 2018 09:21 AM PDT I recently came across the talk Four Solutions to a Trivial Problem - Guy Steele Jr., which goes into some detail about the programming language Fortress. This language, as presented in the talk, seems like a very good idea. However, on Wikipedia it is mentioned that it was discontinued, and the original home page is only visible using the Way Back machine. What happened to Fortress? Why was it cancelled? Is it still possible to find a Fortress compiler and tutorial(s) somewhere, to tinker around with it? submitted by /u/qqwy [link] [comments]

Use of Treemap Collection of java as a sorting technique Posted: 28 Aug 2018 05:07 AM PDT Hello, I read that Treemap uses the Red Black Tree data structure to quickly make a sorted tree. Traversing a tree in the order required by the implementation can give us a sorted list then. Why can't we use this algorithm of using red black trees and patent it as another sorting algorithm? The treemap collection is available in java if anyone is not familiar with the same. ​ It will sort the list in lesser time in worst cases as well than traditional sorting algorithms perhaps? Need feedback and your thoughts on this. ​ Edit: I came to know that this is Tree Sort that runs in O(nlogn) time{worst case of O(n^2)} and came to know about it only after writing above post :| submitted by /u/vinaych [link] [comments]
