Facts are nouns, adjectives are subjective. A subjective analysis is hard to trust. I hate Java, because I choose to do so. Java being a bad language cannot be proven by my personal opinion. People do amazing things with it, Minecraft was initially Java, Android apps run on JVM etc etc.
This article has more than 10 adjectives (many have adverbs attached to them or written like "... much more sane and reasonable language like Python ...") in its first five sentences. Thanks for the effort but no, I cannot trust any of it.
- klodolph 10y agoThat's a weird metric. "Java is an abomination" uses nouns but is entirely subjective, "Java is class-based and garbage-collected" uses adjectives and is objectively true.
- diegoperini 10y agoI'd try to save my argument here but I know I'll fail hard. Let's try :) "Abomination" implies disgust, so your example can be paraphrased as "Java is disgusting.". To fail harder, let's paraphrase further. "Java programs are built with classes and collect their garbage." At least I've tried. My own comment actually has adjectives too (like "subjective") but this is getting too meta.
