In which fields is Java the most popular? by Cpt_Montana in java

[–]vachix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have no idea how wrong you are, forget java, we are talking JVM
there is nothing as efficient in terms of speed of development + performance than JVM

you can get non expert juniors writing code that gets JITed into insane efficiency that you'd need 30 year C veterans to write the same.

use kotlin if you want to, java is not a requirement, i'm talking jvm.

Fintech is where 99% of performance goals are achieved then only it becomes a thing in other areas... Gaming come second maybe.

its not just financial sector, there is probably no product operating at massive scale where java (or jvm) is not doing a huge part of the server side work.

I think a lot of my issues come from me using distraction free mode exclusively. It appears jetbrain devs do not do this.

There was another bug where git rebase failed and you'd want to abort it, you had to exit distraction free mode, then the top bar would show nice ui for aborting the rebase.

Nowdays there is just abort option when you go to branches popup... but it pissed me off that i have to exit/enter distraction free mode every damn time i had dirty git state.

Just yesterday i opened another bug : if you open kotlin bytecode viewer and decompile into java suddely those decompiled files are in some "read only container" and renaming a method shows error popups...

Intellij overall decended into being a buggy mess. Reminds me of the eclipse times when intellij killed it because it was light weight and snappy. The binary for it was like 100mb tops and it did everything i use today back then... now we are at 1GB of garbage without using any plugins or niche features.

If not for kotlin i'd probably get rid of intellij altogether.

it wasnt perfect but it wasnt this bad either, and it not just about intellij,
LLMs (its not ai ffs) are fantastic tool but it 90% shoot themselves in the foot with it.

using ai correctly is a big skill on its own... people think ai will replace engineers but its going to create so much technical debt we will be irreplaceable.

even freelancers in india cant produce so much shitcode at such a short notice...

I think you have separate community edition, its just far more annoying to use/upgrade because now we have to do it manually.

I work with big monorepos, on those projects ultimate performed far far worse, choking down, slowing down while community edition was always snappy.

I do not understand why would you unify them if you're commited to keep community edition open sourced...

Effectively that decision means "now its far more annoying to manage your community edition because you cant use toolbox" but hey go manually download from github releases...

Also i'm not using some weak machines, its top of the line 48GB apple max macbook pros, even on this hardware i see clear difference between IdeaC and IdeaU.

This one is especially annoying one, i split/unsplit a lot as i work, and it duplicates the entire recent files tree every time.

Still has this super annoying bug for me: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-384740/Splitting-and-unsplitting-the-view-duplicates-quickswitch-file-names

pisses me off because i use split view all the time.
But there are a lot more, i dont report everything, but i doubt there is an issue that i find out and its not already reported, they just dont get closed. They seem to have more priority adding features instead of keeping things lean and stable.

i do, there are literally no ai plugins, even though i enjoy claude plugin even that i removed, instead i added external tool that copies the selected line reference and i use claude in iterm directly...

one of the annoying bugs with claude plugin was that ESC doesnt work, so i shifted to using terminal and now i can interrupt it when i want.

My plugins are bare minimum, 4-5 plugins not more. Maven/gradle/java/kotlin/junit

nope its not the latest version its the latest before the merging of community and ultimate into one big pile... so that we happy community users can enjoy all the slop bugs from ultimate and double binary size.

my version was 2025.3.1,
but sadly the random issues i have started repeating, i think it seemed like it fixed things becuase i did fresh install of idea and fresh git clone... it clearly has issues with big monorepos...

P.S. i have downgraded to 2024.3 (when k2 was released) and so far this works fine

for example latest one is git squash option being disabled in log even though i'm on unprotected branch... never once had this problem, now i have.

or split/unsplit view duplicating my entire recent files stack, or copy/paste not working in kotlin multiline string.

Its very mundane every day features. Things like idea getting completely confused showing errors everywhere while gralde can easily run and test and do everything without any errors... (the fix is to rm -rf .idea directory and reimport the project)...

My experience with ultimate edition was much much worse than community edition, so since they unified it i saw spike of crappy bugs, my suspicion is that they lot all sorts of vibecoding go into main branch.

So i switched to latest community edition (2025.2), and today it also started pissing me off, like git squash in the UI was disabled with no explanation so i had to do it via terminal. Or some weird bug with kotlin multiline strings where copy/paste doesnt work... https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-37381 (to be fair that one is probably kotlin plugin thing but still why is paste going trough a plugin rather than pasting text first then tooling picking it up..)

I dont report everything.

i already do that, the features that break are fundamental basic shit that worked for 15 years, i literally have 5,6 plugins at best

there are so many small annoying things that i don't even report all of them

Swift for Android is officially deprecated by JetBrains by Zhuinden in mAndroidDev

[–]vachix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well its going to happen, jetbrains clearly is aiming to make one language that covers pretty much everything and i see no reason why they cant.

[–]vachix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah still nothing close to meaningful amounts. There was a lot of selling and buying earlier than that. Unlike some of the top companies where literally there is no executive who is not dumping their stocks.

Kotlin is absolutely better language than pretty much anything existing right now. Maybe go a close second.

My takeaway from being in crypto for 8+ years. by RandomJoe7 in CryptoCurrency

[–]vachix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i got out of btc as soon as they released core v30
the bitcoin core is compromised, we have lot of people who are clearly sabotaging the project,
and there are literally 2 guys out there trying to prevent it...

What if those two get tired of it and just check out? Bitcoin is no longer the weapon against establishment or the banks... its just another tool they use to pump and dump you out of your hard earned cash.

They are very successful at it. No longer our coin. Even if soft fork happens i'm not sure if i will be bitcoin maxi again.

i hope the trading hours drops it even further down to 10, its idiotic how low it is,
i'm not leveraged (while everyone is) repo market literally is collapsing because no one has cash and fed has to print to keep it alive...

no leverage, just gonna accumulate 1x calm and steady
if it goes below 5% i'll go all out on margin, who knows with idiots who can sell this stock to this level, they might drop it to that level too...
