i was talking with a senior developer and...

...i realized...

...every single thing you people trashtalked against java, was a delusional lie.

Lol man, good thing you checked!

Pro tip: Be skeptic about everything people say on the internet, then extend it to real life 👌

Every language is there because all other languages suck in some way.

Pro Tip: Be skeptical of people.

@AlexDeLarge why are ebay and amazon websites, just to name a few, even up to this day, built and running with java, if java sucks so much?

@SukMikeHok because PHP would have sucked more, and they couldn't get enough Fortran programmers to get traction.

@SukMikeHok because long ago java wasn’t the worst choice. Now it’s bad in comparison.

To be fair though, there is bitching aimed at every single language out there. Even langs that are widely loved get a fair amount of shit.

It always depends on your usecase and style preferences.
For me, java just seems unnecessary complicated and long sometimes. And I don't like the way the classes interact with one another but that is all my personal opinion and preference. You do you. If you enjoy it, great.

Assembler for life !

Larry Wall called Java today's COBOL. 😁

No you didn’t.

It doesn’t matter either,since my dad can beat up your dad

@hasu
What do you mean with the way the classes interact with one another?

@MarioC I hate that one has to use the "." operator to access something from another class. To be honest Object orientation in general is not my thing.

No u

@hasu I just finished up a whole ETL where I wasn’t guaranteed to have all the objects created, so I had to liberally use safe navigation (?.) pretty much past the parent object.
