So...
Why do elegant programmers use Java??

It is classy! :D

Java looks slow nowadays compared to "go" and "nodejs"
But no doubt it has it's own use cases

@tinybyte except its the fastest language running on a vm

@RazorSh4rk FALSE! C++/CLR

@QCat Can you read? He said a VM. C++ doesn't run in a VM

I did not intend to start a war in my post's comment section ;_;

@QCat false? Dont you mean 0, you c pleb?

@RazorSh4rk VM plebs * laughs in C *

@Tychus *laughs with classes and a typesafe language*

@KeirDavis1 * laughs in I never really liked oop, i can write safe C code and supersonic perf *

@Tychus
You: laugh(who)
Me: who.Laugh()

@RazorSh4rk

Me : flag && printf("HUE HUE HUE FREEDOM");
You : if(flag) system.println("I'm a java peasant");

@Tychus I bet you really enjoy having a scalable, typesafe system with speed and abstraction instead of 1000s of variables?

Basically what I'm saying is, good luck programming professionally with good pay if you dont like OOP. 😒

@KeirDavis1 :D I'm working full time getting paid a great salary doing mainly C.

When i said i don't really like OOP i didn't mean I don't know OOP. i still write a lot of cpp/C# and hell even java code.

System.out.print("We both love coffee\n
And its just sooooo goood and the syntax is great\n
And its great for getting into object oriented programming❤ ");

@Nikan Heard of println?

@KeirDavis1 yeup either works :P just wrote like that for sake of the comment

I am amused by the comments.. please continue everyone! :D

@TheItalianGuy lolZ btw whats your opinion !

@Tychus
Me: print("Python is awesome")

@SHA-256 hue hue you still have to check for the flag before tho. C allows some awesome shortcuts no other language to my knowledge allows.

🤘VB ftw🤘

I'm not a serpentard (frensh for stylfeting in harry potter), i'm not a python fan. I'm a serpython.

@Tychus yeah and java code is actually readable

@Tychus True that :)

@RazorSh4rk oh cmon don't give me that "clear code" nonsense. YES you should write code in a structured and logical way. but you can't tell me
flag && foo(); isn't clear ...

people tend to confuse bad code with advanced code.

Perl?

@Nikan Considering I am 17 an self learning since 2015.. I really do not have a strong opinion YET.

I just try to adapt to any new language I encounter, and lately I've been a lot into Java, as you can tell by the joke :P

So yeah! Although I have some experience with C++ as well, I have no favorite so far.

@TheItalianGuy
best way is choosing which one you like the most and want to be a pro on it And sticking to it

in the way of making programs and apps with language you like
you will encounter things that you need to learn .

Then you go and learn them and experience them as well .

For example lets say you are working on an android app which sends data and receives from a server .
Then when you want to write the server side , you learn php , then you learn mysql , then you want a web ui as well so you learn html ,css,javascript and many others.
Sorry for this long comment 😅😂

@Nikan Thanks for the advice! ^-^ I am indeed intentioned to get a broad knowledge in various fields that involve programming.

@Nikan or do all that in java :v

Ok ill stop now

@RazorSh4rk you heretic ! stop infection the newbies with the java virus * purging intensifies *

@TheItalianGuy Self learning programming since I was 7

Started with Rbx.Lua, moved to frontend web, then to Java, Python, PHP stack and now working full time at 18 doing a .NET stack

Find your favourite and stick to it :)

@KeirDavis1 C++/CLR, not C++. C++/CLR is running under a runtime, the Common Language Runtime.

@QCat msdn doesnt say this would be vm, but i barfed a little because of the syntax, also ot seems windows only? The msdn page i really unclear.

@RazorSh4rk it is as much a vm as java's. And it has quite a strange syntax. It works under mono, but mono can't compile it itself

@RazorSh4rk truth is java is no longer a proper VM since long ago. The last robust production grade VM is erlang VM (Beam, hype is the same as Java and CLR, a runtime)

@RazorSh4rk scala is the fastest

@QCat C++/CLR *partially* works with, if compiled with the /clr:pure flag

And the weird syntax is mostly inherited by the .NET framework

I quite like the approach it's taking though
