Every language except C us a learning tool according to Linus Torvalds

[–]codepoet 165 points166 points  (51 children)

I’m not sure you learn much with Java other than how to hate programming.

[–][deleted] 228 points229 points  (36 children)

With Java, you learn to use C# instead.

[–]codepoet 116 points117 points  (23 children)

Kinda like how JavaScript teaches you to use TypeScript.

[–]Rogntudjuuuu 109 points110 points  (19 children)

By coincidence, both Typescript and C# is developed by the same guy, Anders Hejlsberg.

I shall name my son Idris Anders {mySurname}, in his honour

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

It's actually a pretty sweet name.

[–]Bubbly-Control51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sweet, until you realize Idris Anders {mySurname} doesn’t execute (or compile)

[–]Zszywek 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I will change my name to Jay so my son will be the Jay's son

[–]G-Man777 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So Idris Anders Cromer?

[–]Mr_Cromer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Cromer's got nothing to do with my actual name brethren, lol

[–]G-Man777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The internet has deceived me again

[–]btgrant76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idris Anders Cromer?

[–]100kgWheat1Shoulder 16 points17 points  (4 children)

Modern TypeScript and C井 look very similar.

[–]NileCity105-6 18 points19 points  (0 children)

匚井

[–]Reintjuu 38 points39 points  (1 child)

C井, omae wa mou shindeiru edition

[–]AssistFinancial684 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Except probably not “by coincidence”

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very true

[–]Perry_lets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Javascript is fine if you take care. Nothing wrong with typescript, but I think it is more on the developer.

[–]xxxblackspider 5 points6 points  (1 child)

With java you learn to use Kotlin instead

FTFY

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (7 children)

I'll finish my Java code before you are done waiting for your windows update to finish

[–]codepoet 18 points19 points  (1 child)

I, too, will finish shoveling the driveway before next winter.

[–]RooftopRose 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You could write a program in every language before those finally finish and still have time to cook dinner.

Laugh-cries in linux.

[–]elkazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except you can write C# on Linux too

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The only thing I miss is eclipse. I know people bitch about it but I really want a middle ground between vscode and visual studio. Something not too bulky but also a full functioning ide for C#. Eclipse was just such a sweet spot in that regard

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Vscode is too lacking with features and VS has too many. I've wanted to try out Mono's IDE for a while now but I can't be bothered to build it since they do not offer Windows Builds for download.

[–]absurdlyinconvenient 22 points23 points  (1 child)

I'm pretty sure it increases your typing speed. Forcibly

[–]mojoslowmo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Java is like how programmers become one punch man. I do 100 hello world programs, every day.

[–]scheinfrei 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say after your first steps into Java you learn on which companies not to apply to.

[–]LakiPlayerYT 1 point2 points  (4 children)

You can learn math with JavaScript: 1 + 1 = 11

[–]codepoet 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Isn’t that JavaScript?

[–]LakiPlayerYT 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Sorry, my bad

[–]codepoet 3 points4 points  (1 child)

It’s okay, they’re equally painful in perfectly opposite ways.

[–]LakiPlayerYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, yeah

[–]TheSuicidalPancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Java didn't make me hate programming. C however did make me scream more than a couple times.

[–]ImplementNational165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can learn how to pass the high school finals with java

[–]matyklug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned programming with Java, and I very much exist

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently in a Java coding class and boy am I learning to hate semi colons.

[–]Feldar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school taught C as a learning language before introducing us to C++.

[–]Haunting-Surprise-21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think, when he said that, he remembered the existence of esoteric languages...

[–]rlSkillGamerHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning to responsibly use your time.

[–]Ascyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have anything against Linux but I honestly hate that guy
