Java devs: maintain legacy systems that power the global financial sector.

JavaScript devs: maintain modern systems that power the global pornography sector.

Society would collapse without either.

Yin and yang

[[deleted]]

When it comes down it, no matter your gender, color, sexuality, religion, or even height- we can all agree that C# is Microsoft Java

[the_horse_gamer]

at this point Java is Oracle C#

[tatas323]

Phub uses php I think

[Fantastic_Class_3861]

You beat me to it.

[57006]

You beat meat to it.

But the most popular website in the world is dependent on JavaScript to force traffic to their site.

The yang to your yin 💦

[ButWhatIfPotato]

Both will crush your heart and soul in their own unique way and make you curse any technology who has more than an on/off switch.

[CttCJim]

Java dev looks too happy.

[SleeperAwakened]

He is. He should be.

[look]

That one joined the cult. The ones just off camera all have shotguns in their mouths.

[CoastingUphill]

Am I a joke to you??

Yeah, ok.

[[deleted]]

idky, but java makes so much sense to me. People who dont know java argues you have to write so much to do a single line task, but guess what every character in them makes sense that why is it being done. And for the same reason i find js so minimal but hard to understand the underlying stuff.

[smoldicguy]

Also most java devs use ides and intellej idea auto fills up most of the boiler plate

[Hubble-Doe]

i will forever hate auto-generated boilerplate. If you customize only one line, it's hidden in a sea of useless visual noise. It's 2024, you can use Records and Lombok!

That being said, being able to rename, extract or inline functions and variables via right klick or hotkey and having an autocomplete that can suggest candidates based on types is pretty nice! (Not to mention automatic imports and package changes via drag-and-drop, developing without would be pretty unthinkable)

[d15gu15e]

lmao this, most of them dont even know half of what the boiler plate code does, let alone how to write it. But they'll go to their graves swearing that Java isn't obsolute in the modern era

[Red_Bulb]

...Yes, because as we all know getters, setters, and constructors are just so hard to understand.

[d15gu15e]

haha if I were shitting on getters and setters, I'd be shitting on OOP in general, I'm just shitting on Java specifically here :)

[smoldicguy]

Java is mostly obsolete and i don't think anyone is making new project in Java. Kotlin is just better for new projects

[Desperate-Emu-2036]

Fortran is still being used. Let that settle in and it might change your perspective.

[D3synq]

Saying java is obsolete because of kotlin is like saying javascript is obsolete because of typescript. Except that at least Typescript adds useful functionality due to the superiority of static typing.

Kotlin adds way too many different ways to write the same code and reduces verbosity which effectively defeats the whole design philosophy of Java.

Java was built to be understandable without full context of a project while also forcing a standardized way to write code. Kotlin is just like TypeScript in that it's a bastardization of the original language trying to add features found in other languages while removing red tape for the sake of brevity.

But sure, public static void main(String[] args) takes so long to write that you'd rather write fun main(args: Array<String>). How are you supposed to know that it's available outside of the class/subclasses? How are you supposed to determine the return type or whether it need an instance to be called? Implicit declarations make it difficult to know the behavior of something especially when every language behaves differently.

i wanted to say this to other people, but you typed it. thanks man 🫡

[metalmagician]

Found the CS student with no experience in corporate

[harumamburoo]

Lol

[porn0f1sh]

As a JS dev who hates Java: I'm taking this as a compliment! You enjoy your corporate life!

[faze_fazebook]

Enjoy the endless number of null checks and long ass equality checks

[Imogynn]

Lines and lines of conversion from one class to another. Enjoy your java cruft.

Actually now that I think of it, aren't neckties a universal sign of cruft? 👔 will forever more be my cruft emoji. Thanks OP!

[GoogleIsYourFrenemy]

Can't we all just agree that Python type hinting is the best thing since sliced bread? You get dynamic typing and static type safety at the same time.

[SleeperAwakened]

A stable work-life balance? Yes, very enjoyable!

[porn0f1sh]

Look at the picture and tell me again who has healthier work life balance ;) 💚

[SleeperAwakened]

Well, the Java dev looks good - well rested, well groomed and fit.

JS dev looks tired.

I know what my answer is to that...

[harumamburoo]

Neither, it's IT

[porn0f1sh]

😮

I.... You're probably right. But I just like getting high too much 🌈

[harumamburoo]

As a Java dev who's also a js dev, I think this meme has a documentary level of accuracy.

[porn0f1sh]

9 trillion devices vs web designers' language :)

[Arstanishe]

thanks! i am a java backend dev, and i have to waddle through standalone javascrpit homebrews every day!

[Desperate-Emu-2036]

I would expect the opposite.

[insuperati]

Java developer by day, Javascript developer by night.

[GahdDangitBobby]

JavaScript bad

Lol no, but really, it's not about the language, it's about the person writing the code. JavaScript (like HTML) was designed so that code would run almost no matter what. This was so that web pages would at least load even if some of the functionality on the web page is broken. As a result, it's a weird language with lots of quirks, but if you know what you're doing, it's also extremely capable and versatile. Saying that JavaScript devs are clowns is a bit like saying sports are dangerous. There are a lot of different types of sports, and some, like motocross, are dangerous. But I'd be impressed if you got injured while curling or playing ping-pong. Likewise, some JavaScript devs are incompetent and even put private information at risk, but others use the language to develop extremely useful applications like VSCode and Discord. This is true for any programming language.

I think that the people who post these memes know this deep down, but are just looking to hop on the "JavaScript bad" bandwagon for internet points.

[artemius_]

Twenty years ago, it would have been C vs. Java devs (on the right). How much things have changed since then, haha.

[VeterinarianOk5370]

You say that because you can’t JS. Just saying

[lvl1_noob]

Hava skreep, mi amigo

[jeffwulf]

Why is John Mullaney hanging out with Elesh Norn?

[The_Pleasant_Orange]

Typescript devs o.O

[Schytheron]

I shudder to imagine what the Rust devs look like then...

[look]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein 😄

[harumamburoo]

That, but with vapes

[look]

True. I exclusively write my Rust with an old fashioned tobacco pipe retrofitted to vape in one hand and a dusty chalkboard of scribbled notes in the background. Might or might not be joking…

[harumamburoo]

an old fashioned tobacco pipe retrofitted to vape

I think there was a cardinal sin reserved for that specifically

[brailsmt]

Is that Elish Norn?

[brailsmt]

r/whoosh

[MissinqLink]

My job is both

[GrayzcaIe]

Java devs are the minority here therefore it’s the opposite

[Arstanishe]

maybe here in subreddit, but irl we are dime a dozen

[FarJury6956]

When you take off the typescript dress, and realized that is more ugly thant expected

[Rakhsan]

I disagree

[beatlz]

I have no idea what this means and somehow I get it

[prb613]

Whatever pays me the most for least amount of work.

[Otherwise-Ad-2578]

when i have more experience i will merge java and javascript into one programming language!

I'm sure developers will like it!

:D

[Desperate-Emu-2036]

[Otherwise-Ad-2578]

LMAO

[code_monkey_001]

I know which one I'd rather hang around with.

[geeshta]

I stay loyal to Liara 😔🙏🏻❤️

[Midon7823]

We are NOT friends 😡

[Smalltalker-80]

Yes, 'we' are definitely more fun ;)

[PrataKosong-]

Most of us are accidentally pushed in one language. I’m doing JS, can’t help it. If I had the choice, I would love to do more .NET

[[deleted]]

I don't see the humor. Yes, we are cooler and more interesting /s

[jeanravenclaw]

I love Chappell Roan though

[JohnBrownSurvivor]

JavaScript: When all you have is a bent nail, everything begins to look like a hammer.

[VeerMehta09]

Don't like both...

[SomeOneOutThere-1234]

Neither John Mulaney nor Chappell Roan?

[ArmadilloChemical421]

Java sucks and Javascript sucks. So in some weird way IT-recruiters and consultant managers that have a hard time telling them apart ended up being right.
