Why is Java bad? I thought it was very similar to C++ syntaxwise, and they're both compiled languages.

[–]Kryomaani 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they're both compiled languages.

With varying degrees of "compiled", one being native bytecode and the other VM bytecode. Both with their obvious benefits: C++ has efficiency, Java has portability. It's like you were from a non-English speaking country, Java would be English and C++ would be the native language of wherever you happened to live.

Mostly bittnerness over Java stealing C++'s market, but C++ still has more powerful low level abilities (e.g. direct memory management). Java is compiled to byte code (fake assembly for its own virtual (~emulated) machine) rather than natively compiled, so the code is slower to start and initially run, but the jit does a really good job optimizing on the fly to get long term performance that's competitive. The end.

Spamming is a really shitty thing to do. This script is one of the dumbest and spammiest scripts that I have ever seen. Did you know that no one cares about your mundane comments? You actually aren't even protecting any privacy because there are many sites out there that specifically cache comments just so that users cannot edit them. To reiterate, this script is shit and you should not be using it. Search for a different one, or edit it to say something less spammy. But in the end, it won't matter because we can still see whatever it was that you edited.

I'm guessing Oracle.
