The article seems to be about Java vs Python. But it really only talks about static vs dynamic typing. Not only has everything about that subject already been said 1000 times. It's also not Java-specific. Java sucks IMO not because of static typing, but because of the 'If you have a problem, add more OOP'-mentality which has given us Java EE. About any argument he makes pro-java is also valid for something like typescript. But with typescript you still have the freedom of a scripting language for the parts where it makes sense.
- tomsmeding 11y agoReally good point. Replace every mention of Java in the post with any statically typed language, and he definitely has a point. He doesn't argue that Java doesn't suck.
