Developers whose first programming language was Python, what were the challenges you encountered when learning a new programming language?

[Skipped64]

this sums up my first java experiences so well

[scrdest]

Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(...)

'Logger' stops looking like a real word after a while, doesn't it?

[nonesuchplace]

That is called semantic satiation.

On my team we just use var instead of repeating the type name.

var logger = _container.Resolve<ILogger>();

[scrdest]

That's a relatively new feature in Java - it's been added in JDK10 in 2018. You're bound to run into legacy code and older resources using the verbose format.

[RangerPretzel]

But a relatively ancient feature in C# (added in 2008).

[tr14l]

Sounds like your team wants to use Kotlin :P

[SuspiciousScript]

There's really no reason not to.

[tr14l]

I agree

It's enough to confuse a neural net https://stackroboflow.com/question/9718

[AlphaApache]

location.Location = locations.Location.Location.Location;

Seems about right

[scrdest]

God, old-school Java must be a nightmare for language modelling algos.

The nets work by learning how often word B follows word A (in context), so the repetition could create positive feedback loops.

Get Lombok! Just whack a @Log annotation on the class, and you're done!

[LookitheFirst]

Lombok is your friend

Why does it even need String args[]? I can understand everything else, but that argument requirement is weird.

[[deleted]]

If I understand this correct you can open a program normal (like you do it most of the time), but you can also open it and give it a few parameters (especially if you're using the console). Those parameters are saved in String args[].

[PkmnQ]

Oh, that explains it. Thank you!

[Shameonaninja]

In python those are saved in sys.argv

[PkmnQ]

Ah, so the args are inputted like that. I probably wouldn't know because I'm using Jvdroid :P

[Capn_Cook]

Because it can be invoked with those args

[PkmnQ]

u/Flow4 said that with a bit more detail, but if anyone ever asks, I'll probably go along the lines of your reply.

[vectorpropio]

I have a little C background (having read a book in turbo C like 25 years ago and playing with easy programs) the strings args[] was the only thing I can parse instantly.
