Maturing is realizing that java is a good language that gits the job done and has great balance of simplicity, expressiveness and speed, and JVM is a very good ecosystem. The main issue is that it’s owned by Oracle. But I guess it’s better than google atleast.
I prefer Clojure on the JVM 10/10 tho.
I tried, over and over for more than twenty years, but I still hate it. Anything but Java, I’ll even take COBOL with a rusty spoon instead.
Make jar not war
Is java a money maker these days?
Kinda dead language outside of corporate maintenance. There’s really no reason to use Java when Kotlin and all other flavors exist.
No not really. It combines the worst of all worlds. Working with it is a slog, and it’s mostly used in shitty corporate jobs.
Java is weird and I don’t like it. It’s the go-to language to learn as a first programming language in school and university, but the kind of Java that is actually used in corporate jobs, with all the weird frameworks and libraries, is so far removed from school Java that it feels like a whole different thing. Maven is weird and confusing and I don’t get it (but I’m perfectly fine with Php’s Composer and JS npm/yarn). And I have yet to come across any sort of real life problem where OOP is a better solution than Functional Programming.
Java as first programming language? My first programming language in school was Terrapin/MS Logo (that thing with the turtle) and then Python, IIRC.
And yeah, Maven is an absolute pain. My last workplace used it and it makes me extra glad that I don’t work there anymore.
I’m more partial to OOP, though. I just find it easier to organise data and functionalities by class/object and not make a mess that way, I guess. Plus, I mainly do gamedev/adjacent stuff these days, which largely seems to be object-oriented, at least when it comes to the most popular engines.
Logo! 90 R 10 L 10 L 10 L (I’m sure that’s not how it was written but it’s how I remember it).
Had to look it up because it’s been a LONG while, it’s actually RT 90 and LT 10.
I remember trying (and failing) to make games with this thing
Maven is far easier if you… use gradle instead.
fax, no printer
I’m not entirely sure what you want to say, but Gradle utilizes Maven repositories.
So if you need to use maven, consider not using maven.
And if you’re trying to use dependencies, it doesn’t really matter where you get them from. NPM is as useless as NuGet, as Maven and every other one.
Okay, NPM might be even worse.
Fax = facts
No printer = extending the pun
I’m saying you’re right
Thanks for explaining. I still don’t get the other answer I got.
which one?
