When you install Java it says "3 billion devices run java"
Well I'm not sure how many of those devices actually respond12 -
He's stop writing Java because he thinks Java is inelegant. He write PHP instead.
Am I still on earth? 🤔31 -
My new year's resolution:
- Learn more Java
- Build a web server with Java
- Make a 3D game with no frameworks in Java
- Make a simple Android app with java
- Try JavaOS
- Tell people I know Java13 -
So I've got a friend learning Java, using Eclipse.
I walk in one day and see him restarting his computer. I make nothing of it. Few minutes later, he's restarting again.
I jokingly say "Windows update?"
He responds with the straightest face ever: "No, compiling code."
Apparently he thought you needed to restart the computer before compiling.
Not sure if I should be mortified or laughing my ass off.5 -
What?!?
There is an ^= operator in Java for booleans. I have been programming in Java for 4 years now and never knew this. Like b ^= true will flip b.
Mind blown; this is the greatest thing ever14 -
Ported a Java class to Kotlin. 200 lines of code removed and much cleaner structure.

After a long time in .NET and JavaScript, I have returned to Java today. I was quite happy about it for a few minutes!3

After heck a lot of hours of debugging my Java code which looked all right, found out my mistake was just using == instead of equals()

I was once at my uncle's 40th birthday party and bored to hell, so he gave me a book that was supposed to be "Python for kids". I started reading it and soon fell in love with programming.
Since then I've often learned new programming languages by reading books or lately mostly the internet.
My books here should be in chronological order:

Coming from Java, Python is extremely powerful.
Like holy fuck.
I'm almost starting to understand the hate on Java, though I'll always love it as it was my first language.47 -
Some 40 years old guy on the bus talking with his younger colleague: "If you learn Java, you know Javascript. Javascript is just more compact Java."18

"I decided to write the core software for my Time Machine in Java. It's Date API is so error free and easy to use."
As the legend goes, the scientist is trapped in another dimension between Timezones.

The biggest annoyance in Java for me is the absence of "real" properties. Writing getters and setters everywhere is ugly, you are generating them anyways.7

Thanks java! FAILURE :java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: OutOfMemoryError thrown while trying to throw OutOfMemoryError; no stack trace available5

Why don't people like Java? With only a year of AP comp sci for experience, I don't know enough about it to say I do or don't like it. But it's widely used, and is an official language of Android. Are the people hating on Java just people that don't use it? Or is there something about Java that people just genuinely despise?37

Java
It's my favorite language because I started learning programming in Java when I was in school.
The most annoying thing in Java is I don't feel like writing System.out.println each time.12 -
This whole week I’ve been writing Java (for the first time) and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a horrible language, written by horrible people, for the purpose of making other people’s lives horrible.
Fuck Java 🙂11 -
Once I didn't knew anything about coding or development.
Someone suggested me to start with Java.
Still looking for that Mada-foker.5 -
-Yeah sure, I'll adjust to java pretty quickly. Have been working with C# for years.
Narrator- But little did he know that how much Java differs.9 -
Java is kind of like teenage sex--everyone is always talking about it, but in reality they don't even know what they're talking about.

Back in the late 90's when I got started in my career - had a boss that didn't known the difference between Java and JavaScript. I made the mistake of trying to explain the difference. If you can keep the boss in the dark and get away with it - do it. Ignorance is bliss.1

Some changes coming to Java in Java 10... which might cause bigger confusion between Java and JavaScript between non tech savvy people full article

Cheers to those Java developers who think they will be richer than PHP developers because Java has a more complex syntax.12

One of my colleges complained that the remote vm he uses to test his Java-Code is so slow that he thinks it's actually just a potatoe.
I said to him... Well you know... 3 Billion Devices run Java.

Life is too short for Java. I gave up Java even during college time and I like JavaScript. Few years later node.js came, the best gift I ever got in my life!8

During interview:
Them - "what was the last thing you've learned?"
Me - "Java, actually. Learning it for a personal project."
Them - "Why Java? What purpose does it serve?"
Me - "ಠ_ಠ"5 -
Started doing Java because i thought it had much better libraries than C++ .Now after doing it , still not able to decide whether to stick with Fucking Java or with that Fucking C++ LOL.35

why the hate on java? ok, i'm only studying applied computer sciences for a year now, we mainly saw java /javascript and i like them. personally i worked with python, c, c#, php, swift too but i still don't see the problem with java4

teaching myself Java servlets
ide refuses to recognize my tomcat server
me: ...... no one's using java servlets right?
*nods to self, gets up and leaves laptop*4 -
To those who hate (or hate on Java), is it the language itself, the JVM/performance (or lack thereof), or both that you hate? (Or something else?)21

Saying Java is good because it works on every operating system, is like saying anal sex is good, because it works with every gender!10

coded a java program in eclipse throws back error .
Know that program is correct.
Created a new project file copy pasted the code, wolaa.. executed.
:/5 -
Java teacher who quite literally wrote the textbook on Java couldn't figure out how to use Eclipse, so he resorted back to JGrasp after an hour of class time spent trying to compile5

I thought I was decent at Java until I saw it in action over an internship this summer... is it always so complicated or do I have more to learn?2

To all fellow Java devs out there. Remember the Java life: "We code hard in the cubicle"

So I just saw a post titled 'Bye bye Java'. Not sure how I am supposed to react.
PS: Don't throw in the React joke here.10 -
I have just learned java language. Can anyone tell me some small projects that will help me as a beginner?10
-
The best part is the satisfaction you get when you see the thing you've worked on for a long time being used and making people happy.
-
When some colleague ask for help in a project that you're supposed to know everything but you really don't (damn multi threading in Java )4
-
I feel like more than half of the time i spend coding Java is actually writting system.out.println().
I mean come on ! Who got time for that ?!5 -
Java Dev: "Does Josh's team own this java service?"
Scrum Master: "They did the dev work but we own it."

Hadn't touched Java for more than a year, had to refresh it back. Probably learnxinyminutes is enough?2

Java jdk 10 just came out, but I only just started moving my projects over to build under jdk 9.0.4.
Oh Java 11 is out in beta as well?
Version numbers mean nothing to me anymore.3 -
Is it wrong that I hate Java?
I tried learning it before, couldn't get myself to, I thought there was something wrong with me, maybe im not open to learning new languages
Then I got introduced to F#, Loved it! Even moved portions of pet projects to it
Looked at Java again
Still hate it.
Advice?2 -
Who says Java is platform independent? Here I can't easily move a project to different device on same platform.3

! rant / question
Are certifications worth it¿
( like Java Certifications and stuff similar to that)2 -
What is the use of Java nowadays besides Android? I rarely see Desktop apps written in Java and backends are developed more efficientl with django, node.js ,etc... just think about it setting up spring boot and all the warnings and errors...4
-
I've just tried those streams of Java 8. And I can't understand, how on Earth I didn't try them before. They're magnificent.
Hovewer I have some doubts about using them in production. I think no one else will be able to understand what code with streams do.2 -
“Data structures”... More like “i hate java so much and i am thinking of dropping outta college and live in a cave where i never have to see a monitor ever again.” Am i right?3

I have a little ask for you guys, If you need to start a Java project, Will you use kotlin or Just Java? I'm a little confused with this choice, so i need more visions19
-
There was a rare footage of aliens using java to fly their ufo, well then i guess thats why android was built on top of java
-
Idk why but whenever I seem to code anything in Java, my hands stumble all over my keyboard and I end up back spacing more than writing ActUAL code
-
Should I dig more into java or Kotlin? Are there any advantages to java? From what I've learned so far, it seems like java leads to a lot more writing of the same things over and over again.
For example, it's good practice to keep a class' variables private and have public get() and set() functions. Java needs you to write these functions each and every time, Kotlin spares you that stuff. So, any reason to still be learning java?5 -
So yeah I just had Ubuntu show me two errors directly after startup, then claiming that there is a programming error in aptdaemon and then IntelliJ crashing because of a read-only FS.
After rebooting my VM im faced with a BusyBox prompt saying my disk is corrupted. Fuck VMWare. This is not the first time the disk in my VM got corrupted. -
I'm not going to pickup Java no matters what. I'm moving from tech giant to advertising field which I can avoid Java. I like to develop things quick and see the impacts straight away, that can be done using php, node.js. Not Java. Life is too short for Java.3

Question for java masters, can you please show me the java mastering degrees
Example : Java, Java Gui, Java Jdbc .....
Thank you7 -
So I am quite new to programming and I am still searching for the right language I want to stick with. I am using mainly Windows, but want to migrate to Linux in the near future so I thought Java would be a good choice.
I have always heard people saying "Java is bad because of x" and wanted to ask whether it's a good choice or not. Other languages like Kotlin have been named quite often as a better option.
So my question: Is Java a good option and if not what alternatives are there? An explanation would be great, too.^^
Thanks all in advance.5 -
Going to a crash course Java event tonight. Not sure how enthusiastic I should be based on some of your rants 🤔2

Java Webapplication:
Not easy to choose a frontend... Vaadin Framework, JHipster,...? 😐
Need suggestions and reasons 😊1 -
