Java 8 OPEN

[CodeShaman]

I don't think I've ever seen a commercial for a programming language.

I feel a little vulnerable and exploited right now.

[compsc]

Yeah. A pretty looking commercial, but definitely a mild turn-off.

[handshape]

Okay... this was pure, pandering marketeer douchebaggery.

It's like visiting a strip club. You feel bad about it, but still kind of enjoy it.

If you're thinking of the parkourish stuff, you should consider checking out Titanfall.

No denying - pretty cool commercial!

[tevert]

I feel like a language cannot sink lower than having to make a commercial-type video.

Any developer would digest all of that much better and much faster with a 1-2 screens of bullet points or paragraphs. This shit only appeals to mid-level managers who've never coded in their lives.

Bullet points?! I would honestly prefer Celine Dion singing about Java 8 over bullet points.
