How Java needs to become cleaner
- cschneid 17y agoHow the author needs to find a different language that runs on the JVM. Seriously though, his suggestions boil down to "make breaking changes to the language so it looks nicer". Then it's a different language.
- mark_l_watson 17y agoA nice writeup, but I wonder why not just use Scala? It is true that Scala has a steep learning curve compared to Java but you get all of the efficiency with a concise notation. (Substitute Clojure for Scala - just about the same argument, except Clojure is easier to learn.) re: Groovy: too slow - I would rather just use JRuby if I want a slow but really nice programming language on the JVM.
