Python has security issues with its pickle protocol, its version of serialization. Python’s cure for that is to warn the developer that deserializing data from unknown sources is not a great career move.

But I hate to rush to Java’s defense. It’s a fussy language. Why is it wrong, for crying out loud, to put two public classes in a source file? What if I want to change the name of a public class - why do I have to rename the source file?

That’s a shame TheBrain no longer does exports, but there may be other problems with it. User comments seem to reflect a product that is a bit too beta-ish. I left it when I lost nodes several times, I think in version 8.

Devonthink for me, then. Give me a clunky interface and rock solid reliability over glitz and graphics.
