You're not stuck with it Anon. You can use something different!

This is probably the best 100 second explanation of Java to exist.

I'm sure that's Fireship, without clicking the link.

I really enjoyed the text.

From the perspective of a python programmer it all seems valid.

A Java-Dev would probably write the same about an embedded engineer.

[–] MajorasMaskForever@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

As embedded dev, the stack trace alone scares me. It would be funny to watch the Java runtime blow the 8 frame deep stack on a PIC18 tho

Sorry, you had a small error in the spacings of your post; Therefore I cannot parse a thing you're saying. Didn't mean to scare you with a semicolon either. It's just a tool in language's to end a clause and begin a related, independent clause. That could be useful somewhere...

I started with java for school. The day I tried C for the first time I was flabbergasted, "what do you mean it doesn't matter which order I put things in?"

I don't think Lemmy would've let you post a smaller image.

Looks fine in the Eternity app.
Unless OP fixed it already.

Must be several years old - otherwise, javafx deserves quite a bit more ire.

Java is terrible and I hated it but I feel like this stuff is not why, this mostly just seems like stuff that most powerful object oriented languages do.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Java is amazing and I love it, and I agree that this is not really a good list of problems. (Not that I expect green texts to be well thought out, rational, real, fair, or anything other than hyperbolic rants lol.) There are good reasons to critique it and the ways people use it, but this isn't it.

Particularly funny is the one about race conditions. That's something you'd have to deal with in any sort of multi threaded environment.

I still think Java is good for teaching newbies precisely because it will throw an error quickly if they are doing it wrong.

Rust over there like

Hey kid, tired of putting off your problems?
