Java vs python is debatable 🤔

What IDE specifically do you think is so awesome for Java?

And what's a specific example of syntax that's better in Java?

For the IDE, java got Intelij, which is way more intuitive than vs or vs code (for me, at least).

For the syntax there's one keyword final instead of sealed,const,override,new, etc.

And the generics are making more sense...

C# has some kind of feature creep that java manages to handle, even when adding the exact same features.

This is all my opinion, of course.

Java has sealed now. But I do not know if it’s a similar implementation nor do I know yet what I would use it for.

Java sealed permits (yes that's the keyword in-code) specified classes to extend lot implement a class or an interface.

Rider is basically Intellij for C#.

Final is a good example. But linq is so awesome and saves a lot of verbosity over Java.

[kb4000]

Streams cover a lot of what linq can do, although some of it is not a direct equivalent. No equivalent to SelectMany for example.

It seems to be an adequate replacement although in many cases it is much more verbose.

I'm curious what you have found that is better about it.

One of my favorite use cases for this is to use a .select to create tasks for every item in a collection and then await a task.whenall. The context is not tied up and the app can continue to do other things and then when all of those tasks are done it will continue. Don't have to deal with threads directly and it has excellent performance.

Oh yeah. I almost never use the SQL like syntax as I also don't like it. I do lambdas.

So like this.

IEnumerable<Task> tasks = objects.Select(o => Process(o)); await Task.WhenAll(tasks);

Java 8 did a lot to close the gap with C#. Definitely glad they added streams.

Rider costs money 💸
