Hm, I write Java for a living (Android) and Java being a nice language would be one of the last things about it to come to my mind...

- campers 11y agoHave you looked at using Kotlin instead?
- V-2 11y agoYes! Much of an improvement, definitely. Especially since it approaches maturity now. It's going to take a while until it gains wider acceptance as a production language in commercial projects though.
- mobiuscog 11y agoAndroid is mostly the Android APIs and 'way of doing things' though. It certainly isn't the same as desktop or Enterprise Java. I've been writing Java for over 15 years and still don't want to write Android apps in any capacity. It certainly has quirks and issues (as all languages do) but I'd say it'a as 'nice' (if not more so) as most popular languages.
- V-2 11y agoWell, maybe, but that's because the most popular languages happen not to overlap with particularly nice ones ;) Java certainly feels dated (I know it's trying to catch up).
