It’s not like I like Java. It tries to keep the number of language concepts extremely low, with the goal of enabling quick on-boarding for new team members.
And, in my opinion, that is extremely pointless. Learning new libraries and frameworks is daily business as a software engineer. So, learning the syntax and std library of your programming language is a very small overhead.
I just feel like Java gets more shit than it deserves.
For example, I think that it’s a much better beginner’s language than Python, because it has less concepts, better error messages and better tooling. Having to memorize publicstaticvoidmain(String[] args) isn’t optimal, but certainly doable by even the biggest dumbass.
Yet, for whatever reason, Python is all the hype.
I definitely don’t think Java is the worst language out there, and agree that it’s preferable to Python. I also think that JVM as a platform is absolutely incredible piece of engineering.
Yeah, I can get agree with that.
