Comment on Anon tries programming in Java

• lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  So you’re going to stride past the part where I say “I’m not going to […] claim that it’s better or worse than others”, ignore the bulk of my comment on Java being hard to get into, make a point of declaring you’ll downvote for stating a personal opinion, then pretend it’s “nothing personal”? I’d be curious how that makes sense in your mind.

  Anyway, like I said, I see no point in petty tribalism. I like Python and C too - that’s not mutually exclusive. I hope you have a pleasant, Java-less day :)

    I was attempting to combine my genuine belief that nobody has ever written a java app that is any good along with humor. As an end user java has always been the scourge of human existence. I’ve never written a line of java code and have no opinion on that.

      I’m not sure you’d even notice all apps that are made with Java, particularly Enterprise Web apps. But yeah, if you’re going for humour, maybe jokingly shitting on people’s opinions isn’t the safest bet.

        “not going to engage in tribalism”

        Moments later, engages in tribalism

        You’ve really got to lighten up, don’t feed the trolls

  Minecraft is a decent example of a good java program. People jump to the first silly reason to disregard it. Cope.

    You seem very butthurt over a joke, be chill

      I didn’t mind your opinion, but now I have to downvote anyway. An opinion this uninformed doesn’t have any right to exist. Minecraft was the sole reason for the current generation of Java devs, it’s literally the Statue of Liberty of the United Javates, the first thing those poor huddled masses saw before landing in the New World.

        Very fair

  Python and Java are barely comparable. I adore both languages equally and use them about the same amount at work. They are just different tools better suited to different tasks.

    Care to expound? Why barely comparable? I’d say 90s java and today’s python fill a similar niche of barely functional apps with performance issues.
