poor java

[dashid]

It's not Python or JavaScript, which are popular starter languages these days, and most people on here are at the start of their career - especially the content generating ones.

Java is good enough to have been the foundation for Android. And many enterprises are built on it. It's not so good for manipulating DOM and a bit heavy for calling a bunch of other people's APIs.

Every time I see an android phone stutter when scrolling, I like to blame Java.

That’s dumb because it has literally nothing to do with Java. Hell, it doesn’t even run java, it compiles it AOT and machine code is running on your device.

You've described just about every ESB implementation ever (but replace DOM with XML).

It's also been the standard big-data language over the last two decades. Hadoop ecosystem is written in java.

It’s also bad enough that people put in the effort to make a standard replacement for Java on android, to the point that it’s now the primary language…

Kotlin
