When you have a car that works perfectly no matter the situation, if you are forced to ride a bike you try to just get over it asap and get back to your car.

Orionss28986y@ganjaman concerning Java it's a bit like a high-consuming not-that-confortable vintage car
-
stacked26786y@ganjaman you can drive the best car in the world, but if you're a bad driver, nothing can save you

I'm sure the results would be crappy if I used a tool I was unfamiliar with, too. The same would go for you. Sometimes it's necessary to just do it, though. Other times it's not necessary, it's just bad management.

"small island". Java is the 13th biggest island in the world.
Kotlin now, that's a small island. -
git-gud14186y@stacked well, better a manual driver using automatic than an automatic driver failing to use manual.
i feel like, at this point, the analogy is falling apart.. -
stacked26786yWhatever, anyways the point of my this post is another: I'm not ranting about Java, I'm ranting about people having 10+ years of experience and knowing only one language.
-
@stacked I've done this for a long time and have learned a lot of languages. These days I don't want to learn another language just to do (badly) all the things I already know how to do in some other language.

hitko31546yThat's how it's being taught around here, most CS schools only teach Java, even for students with no prior programming knowledge. After school, those people often land some corporate Java-only job (mainly because their knowledge is almost exclusively Java), and unless they find themselves doing some side-projects, they just don't get to learn anything else.

Why do most Java programmers know Java and nothing else? Wtf, every time find myself reviewing crappy Bash/Python/JavaScript/Ruby shit written by Java-only programmers I want to puke. Don't you know that the world is bigger than your small island?
