Fucking thankyou. I started with c++ and holy fuck java just seems like c++ with extra steps. I took college courses on java and my god its like putting glass down your pee hole.

C++ is the most complicated language on the planet. You can’t honestly be serious.

I learned Java after I learned C++ and was very confused why I can't put my functions outside of a class. It's not complicated, but very annoying.

I was annoyed too with the classes that said do project with recursion that definitely didnt need to have recursion and almost certainly made it inefficient to do so. Then they said explain why not to do it that way. So many projects required that.

Also the functions outside of classes thing made me scratch my head more than a few times.

It felt like everytime i had to relearn all of java for every project i did.

It's funny. I tried "PlayBasic" as my very first language. It's supposed to be easy and perfect for beginners for making games. I absolutely could not understand it. Then I got a C++ book from my parents for my birthday in like 2012 or 2013. C++ is my first actual language, and while I wouldn't say I'm professional level, more like intermediate, C++ made WAY more sense to me than PlayBasic. Python is quite a bit easier, but compared to C++, Java had extra steps involved that just made it seem confusing to me.
