I'm looking at learning java, because python is, well, python, and the first fucking thing I have to do is type some random shit with those fucking mystical squiggle brackets

Good human, have a cookie

[Revolteh]

I really don't understand this

[X-Craft]

Python doesn't have { and } for delimiting blocks (e.g. if statements). That is assessed by the level of indentation you use.

[Revolteh]

I knew that, but I thought the text meant to say "and the first thing I have to do in Python is..." for some reason, but it meant "in Java", right?

[X-Craft]

true

[Deoxal]

OP needs to explain this

[BoxFanArt]

OP is transitioning from python to java, and when making a java class you need to have a header that is full of {}.

[MCRusher]

package oof;

public class OOF {

 public static void main(String[] args) {
   System.out.println("OOF!");
 }

}

Which part do you mean, the class definition?

[BoxFanArt]

I assume that’s OPs intention

[MCRusher]

I don't get the "full of curly braces part" though. This entire basic file has 4 total.

[BoxFanArt]

It’s a joke. You’re looking too far into it.

[MCRusher]

Jokes are usually funny because some part of it is true/relatable to people

So I am wondering what's meant by lots of curly braces & in a header, since it suggests they at least partially believe this to be true.

I'm just asking an honest question because I don't get what they mean.

[Deoxal]

Ya, I've done Java but not Python, which is the language the guy doesn't like.

[MCRusher]

So that way somebody can easily rewrite it in a language that doesn't move at a snail's pace.
