not op but....
Java is always a mess to debug/troubleshoot. It eats memory worse than a bloated browser, and is slooooooow. I personally avoid projects that require java if I can help it.
- icedchai 10y agoIt's actually not slow, and has some of the best monitoring and debugging facilities of any mainstream language.
- CaptSpify 10y agoI'm going to have to flat out disagree with you. I hear this all the time from java devs, but have never seen it in real life. Every implementation I've personally seen of java is extremely slow, and has horrible debugging utilities.
- icedchai 10y agoOk. I'm going to have to disagree since I've seen it in real life several times. Also many large distributed system projects, such as Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Hadoop, etc. are all written in Java.
- CaptSpify 10y agoI guess we'll just have to disagree due to differing experiences. How does a language being used in different distributed system projects mean it's fast? It's just the language they chose to go with. That decision could have nothing to do with speed.
- icedchai 10y agoI was mainly talking about the logging and monitoring facilities, not speed. Though those projects are all quite fast. It's not 1996 anymore.
