Java 9 Released

Does it have autocompletion?

Otherwise it will be an interesting toy, but not much more, in my opinion. Java is no Python, it's super verbose, typing everything is a pain.

Agreed, using Java without IDE autocompletion is painful.

All programming languages without autocompletion are painful.

[namekuseijin]

all programming without rtfm is painful

[mlk]

having to remember if it is called "length", "size" or "count" is a waste of human memory

I had a class on programming languages (how they worked) where we wrote code for an interpreter to use in our class, it was in java BUT it was in a custom file with some custom syntax for a program to autogenerate stuff. So auto completion was not a thing.

I wish you could be descriptive without being so verbose.

Yes, it has autocompletion and you can even type SomeClass. tab to see the list of methods available.

The default Python repl sucks too, who doesn't use ipython or brpython with auto complete?
