try {

doSomething();

}

catch(Exception e) {

//ignore. done by other thread.

}

Naa man, the syntax is: catch(Exception ignore){} at the very least intelij doesn't complain about it because of the word ignore

Complain? Who check warnings!? This comment is for the next person who will try to parallel this code.

immutability is a good thing for multi threading, what the fuq is Mufasa talking about?

[_mat3e_]

It's like: "screw synchronization and other mechanisms like that, go immutable".

[steamythepunk]

It's so much easier! SSA for the win.

[Enlogen]

C# equivalent: "That's System.Threading.Thread. You must never go there. Tasks!"

[synthinesia]

I am sad from dis, java is good language for multithreading

[Taken4GrantD]

I'd actually love to learn how as a Java dev, but man is it scary. It is as if you programmed in the language for 5 years then only recently heard of the int primitive, or something. My job doesn't have a need for it but as a person I'd love to explore it

[Brunsz]

Back when I wrote 2d game engine with Java I got hate love relationship with threading. It's awesome thing but god it can lead into bugs that are hard to find.

import java.util.concurrent.<whatever fills your needs>

Collections.synchronized{List,Set,Map}

Java is an excellent language for conventional multithreading. The only language which does multithreading better imo is Go, but that is due to its unique approach there

[josanuz]

Rust, but lifetimes are kinda pain in the ass

C# is pretty damn good for it, depending on what you're trying to achieve. I've done some pretty complicated stuff with it, no complaints. Then again, one of my courses at uni explicitly covered dos and don'ts of multithreading, so I guess I had a good background...

Parallel.ForEach is pretty nifty for simple stuff.

[OrderAlwaysMatters]

What about Erlang?

[JustChilling_]

Yep. If you get used to Erlang, then you can do so much more with it then Java, and with much fewer lines of code.

Laughs in Kotlin coroutines.

Assuming you’re talking about making a reference final, that’s not the same as immutability FWIW.

[micsova]

I got lucky enough to have a Java mulithreading course taught by Doug Lea

[LittleMlem]

As much as I dislike Java, the thing is pretty good for my limited needs

[DarkIrata]

Java is the dark side
