- foldr 10y agoIt's not a macho thing for me. I use the tools that are easiest to use and do the job. Anyway, I have used a lot of different programming languages, and it's the Java ecosystem specifically that I've always found overwhelming whenever I've tried to dabble with it. So I think the problem is Java, not me.
- empthought 10y agoThere's nothing "macho" involved in this, your language describing your own state of mind is inflammatory and (hopefully, for your sake) inaccurate.
- foldr 10y agoYou may need to expand your comfort zone with regard to mild hyperbole.

- squeaky-clean 10y agoIt's not that it's terrifying. It's just... why make it harder for myself? Even if it's one step (which it isn't), why? If the only reason you can give is I need to expand my comfort zone, sorry, I'll keep my comfort zone small and productivity high.
- empthought 10y agoI wasn't responding to you. The person I responded said, "I find the Java ecosystem terrifying" and I pointed out how silly that statement is.
