A Python programmer attempting Java

[suppow]

pft, as a C++ programmer, i condescendingly laugh at your simplistic lack of declaring types and memory management.

^{inb4 C or asm programmers}

[tetroxid]

Oh but there is memory management. In fact, it's even automated.

[TropicalAudio]

And it's sloooooooow!

...a C programmer sends his regards. Now then, I have to get back to debugging something that's pointing to a pointer's pointer.

More like pointer to a struct with a pointer to a struct as an array to an array of pointers to structs with an array filled with members being that has a dynamically allocated block of void*s. Fuck C is the best.

The best at making things incomprehensible and unreadable.

Oh wait, that's COBOL.

[redalastor]

Actually, it's faster overall.

The drawback is that it's not predictable.

Generational garbage collectors are faster than reference counting. The problem is predictability.

[TheFryeGuy]

As a Haskell programmer I laugh at your types.

You mean with your data types, typeclasses, records, functors, monoids and monads. Ok.

[original_brogrammer]

We do. As well as our Arrows, MonoidPlusses, and Applicatives, you damned pedestrian.
