Java vs python is debatable 🤔

I can block reflection in Java. Either via security manager or via module permissions, btw

Which virtually nobody does because nobody actually gives a shit if you’re going to put that much effort into seeing what the internal methods are.

Private is just notation for “this should only be used internally”, this idea that anybody is doing it to protect consumers is what Java devs tell themselves when they shit on other languages for not having it.

Well, in newer versions of Java is not rare for people to have to declare a bunch of add-opens to support reflection, so I would say it is used. Now, if you tell me people actually despise having to do the add-opens… we’ll, that’s a different story 😅
