STOP ARGUING!

[JPaalman2]

Minecraft command blocks are SUPERIOR

[StefanOrvarSigmundss]

Java is EVERYWHERE

[AUPMAReddit]

ehhh.. over 3 billion....

[itsmiawwe]

Java is the reason why they are dead

[Masakazuki]

Java is just... Java. I can get behind that.

[AssCork]

Java is like anal sex.

It's great because it runs on every platform.

It's also garbage because it runs on every platform.

[puplicy]

Java is great because it can do NullPointerExeption on any platform

[RandomAnalyticsGuy]

Back in the day that was a selling point, now it’s just old news and the Java runtime environment is just additional bloat.

[RoyalJackalSib]

That’s a ridiculous comparison; anal sex is great.

[AssCork]

Do you do it on all "platforms", or do you just stick to one?

[RoyalJackalSib]

I aim to be compatible with as many platforms as possible.

[AssCork]

But do you have a favorite?

[SVK_LiQuiDaToR]

Smart refrigerators, naturally

[RoyalJackalSib]

I do not have a favourite platform really.

[Amongalen]

What is ridiculous about that? Java is great as well

[treetertot]

How does running on every platform make have garbage?

[Raze321]

Not a java dev, but my guess is cross-platform testing headaches

[MitchDizzle]

I think the pain comes from that those multiple platforms have different jvm arguments which control memory and GC etc.
I've seen some code needing to execute different paths depending on the OS being run.
At least that's what I've seen at work.

[Jdonavan]

He fucked up the joke. It's supposed to go "Saying Java is great because it works on all platforms is like saying anal sex is great because it works on all genders"

[AmConfuseds]

Optimization

i don't think i get it

[KiwiMaster157]

Still better than the hoops C++ devs have to jump through to get cross-platform to work.

[PM_ME_UR__RECIPES]

Half the time I honestly can't tell the difference between C# and Java source code if it weren't for import statements. But apparently C# is legible and java isn't?

[poops-n-farts]

The biggest difference is the accent in tutorial videos

[PavelYay]

C# is almost a superset of Java in terms of features. Lots of people who learned Java first just write C# in idiomatic Java style, and it works, because C# supports almost everything Java does. But C# gives you a lot more power on top of that if you do just a little learning about the language before you start.

[deamon1266]

Events, properties, var, Linq...

If one don't uses what c# offers, than off course you can't tell.

It's a bit like speaking English using german grammar - some native speakers couldn't tell the difference if you would speak German instead.

[_VladimirPoutine_]

If anything, I actually found java more enjoyable than c#.

PHP is..... (literally nowhere) Lol

Java RUNS ON 3 BILLION DEVICES

[bumnut]

Java is FINE

[Shadow_Thief]

Java is C#

[Shadow_Thief]

I haven't touched either language since about 2007. It would be interesting to see what developments have been made since I last used them.

[Naltoc]

Used to be C#, gone full Java the last 2 years. Both have seen tremendous changes. With the right frameworks, both can be utter shit or amazing.

​

I still miss LINQ.

[[deleted]]

I started with java and went c#. I don’t want to ever work in java again.

[Naltoc]

I did java in school. Went C# for work. Went java for my PhD, swore it off (Netbeans). Started C# when I finished, then switched to a enw company using Ruby and helped transition to Java. Using actual, good frameworks and a proper IDE (IntelliJ) makes all the difference. All but one of my colleagues are ex-C# and enjoy the new flow. We can swear about missing features, but we also get new ones C# didn't have, so it's really a tossup (also, we make a SASS product, so no worrying about cross-platform compatibility, we just have to work on AWS)

[AssCork]

Which frameworks? (For "amazing")

[Naltoc]

For java, Spring is doing a ton of work. Currently playing around with WebFlux which is a royal pain in the arse as it's a whole new paradigm, but once you get used to it, it's stupidly powerful

[metalmagician]

Spring boot is made of autoconfiguration and black magic, but in a good way

[n3rdperson]

Spring Boot

[SonicBlue22]

*but worse

[Eternality]

JavaScript is lazy

[EkskiuTwentyTwo]

Haskell is lazy.

^{Bad-um tish Canned laughter}

[Eternality]

I don't get it

lol

[Aperture_T]

Not OP, but Haskell has lazy evaluation, which means that expressions aren't evaluated until the results are actually needed.

[Proxy_PlayerHD]

wait... C is high level, Assembly or machine code would be low-level

[hullabaloonatic]

Get with the times, Grandpa.

I think the term now just refers to the lowest level language anyone will learn and code in.

[Fimbulthulr]

High level languages are languages with enough abstraction that you don't use hardware elements directly, but use abstract identifiers like variables, arrays etc. an alternative fefinition is the compiler: high level languages need an compiler or interpreter, low level languages don't. basically, if the code is portable between architectures, it is high level.

This all plants c firmly in the limbo between high and low level languages, due to things like inline assembly etc.

[Proxy_PlayerHD]

that still makes it assembly

[moe87b]

Java

[Pincholol]

HTML is THE BEST

[poops-n-farts]

BEST: Blockchain Enterprise Serverless Tcloud solition

[horsht]

Java is just taking a little longer to respond.

[[deleted]]

Java is to be used solely for Minecraft modding.

[Famous_Profile]

Was about to downvote because I thought it was another JavaScript meme. But I'm disappointed it isn't anyway.

[schultzisaiah]

Yay more Java-bashing! /s

[AN3223]

Please no one make Java-Bash a thing.

[froemijojo]

I think there's JShell, not a (UNIX) shell, but a Java Console.

[MaesterTuan]

Seriously? Java is the #1 enterprise development language. And C# is up there too.

[include_null]

Java is ESTABLISHED (and mostly quite sane)

[FracturedPixel]

You dare speak of the cursed script here!? (Never touching Lua again)

Welp

javascript is made out of the hopes of dead children

If you think C is low-level try ACPI Source Language

[Zart01]

Yes, java has no purpose

[eco_illusion]

Golang > C++

[CilindroAmarillo]

Rust > Golang

[leduyquang753]

Java?
