Java 4-ever
- ukdm 16y agoI think I just found my perfect stand-up/kneel-down laptop stand
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoYes, I was just about to comment that there's a comedic but still NSFW scene near the end.
- wlievens 16y agoThe entire video is NSFW if you work in a .NET shop. But then again, those are likely to have YouTube blocked! :-)
- norswap 16y agoI laughed, but I don't think it was in the way intended by the authors.
- d_c 16y agoHilarious.
- nerfhammer 16y agoA for effort.
- d0m 16y agoIt's insane how a good music background can make a difference.
- ary 16y agoNSFW. A little courtesy next time.
- igorgue 16y agoyou work at a .NET shop?
- zephjc 16y agoOr maybe a company full of boring, humorless teetotalers.
- ary 16y agoNot everyone has a boss that will casually look over their shoulder and laugh at the sex scene they're watching at work. Bully for you though.
- jgg 16y agoBecause the average business using Java is just so counter-culture.

- tspiteri 16y agoIt does have an R restricted, some sexual content, warning at the beginning.
- sant0sk1 16y agoI believe that refers to the full-length feature, while the trailer itself has been approved for all audiences. Restricted trailers have red background warnings. It is most definitely not safe for all audiences. It is, however, very funny.
- zyb09 16y agoeh I don't think there is any full-length feature.
- spivey 16y agoHas the Java the brand completely evolved from a enterprise Sun product, into a counterculture language? With GWT and other JVM languages, Java is starting to look cool again.
- hello_moto 16y agonot cool, just mature/polished/stable.
- rbanffy 16y agoCome on... The JVM is cool.
- samdk 16y agoThe JVM, maybe. Some of the stuff you can do on the JVM, yes. Java? Definitely not.
- wvenable 16y agoThe JVM is the x86 of the VM world. Ugly, used for things it was never designed to properly handle, but also heavily optimized.
- rbanffy 16y agoNo way it could be as ugly as an x86. The x86 has been with us since the 8080 days (the 8086 was a 16-bit 8085, done in a hurry because the i432 flopped). It's a kludge wrapped in a another kludge. Or, as people say, it's kludges all the way down.
- adamilardi 16y agoWow that was funny! All roads lead to the JVM.
- bd 16y agoQuote from my friend (who earns his living doing Java development): "Java is COBOL of nineties. Future generations of programers will fly here from the Moon to piss on our graves for inflicting it upon them."
- rbanffy 16y agoYou can always run more... civilized languages on top of the JVM, talking to Java classes without problem.
- openfly 16y agoOr we could not use the JVM, because it's antiquated and never worked. I mean... that seems to be where everyone went five years ago.
- keytweetlouie 16y agoIt doesn't work at all you are right. That is why twitter is moving away from ruby and towards scala for reliability...sarcasm
- abstractbill 16y agoIn what way does the JVM "not work"?
- stcredzero 16y agoI remember the days when the JVM only had mark and sweep GC and it interpreted bytecodes. I remember when the JIT kept on crashing, and Java apps were catching up to Smalltalk VMs on benchmarks, but wheezing on real apps because of poor GC. Then there was generational GC, but lots of real apps were still wheezing because no one knew how to tune the GC settings. It took a decade for the JVM to cover the same ground the Smalltalk VMs had covered 4 or 5 before it. Now the JVM is mature, and it fricken kicks ass! Really, for a high-level OO language supporting VM, the thing just screams. It's still unwieldy and much better suited to server stuff, but as a Smalltalker and therefore a former longtime Java detractor, I have to say, I am really impressed.
- jncraton 16y agoThis is precisely the type of content that shouldn't be here on HN. Sure, it's funny, but it doesn't help to facilitate intelligent discussion or add value other than humor.
- zyb09 16y agoYou know having humor is actually considered a good character trait.
- rbanffy 16y agoNot only that, but one of the best ways to achieve enlightenment.
- jonpaul 16y agoI bet you're the life of the parties that you go to.
- lincolnq 16y agoI sort of agree. And I apologize on behalf of the community for your being downvoted, as the exact same comment on another article would have a good chance of being upvoted. You have to attune your humor to that of the community. I laughed, so I appreciated that this video appeared here. If the humor was slightly lower quality, I might have made the same comment you made and been sad about it. I think the upshot is that people want a little good quality humor in their daily news, and are willing to upvote it occasionally. The lower quality posts are going to fail, be flagged and removed, etc.
- soyelmango 16y agoha, genius sound editing at 1:22!
- tricky 16y agoi thought one of my vm's had shut down.
- openfly 16y agoHeh if it wasn't for google Java would be completely dead.
- keytweetlouie 16y agoJava is everywhere. You wouldn't see it on hacker news but rest assured major corporations around the world are still using java and will still be using java for years to come. I do acknowledge some may switch to dot net.

- lincolnq 16y agonah, youtube doesn't update the view count very often at all.
- steveklabnik 16y agoSpecifically, it's only 'real time' up to the first 300 views, and then it only refreshes every so often.

- strlen 16y agoIf Microsoft didn't use the excellent CLR (which is much more friendly to non C# languages than the JVM is to non-Java languages see e.g., F#) as a way to sell their crappy systems software, they'd have crushed the JVM: both in enterprise world (C#, while still a blub compared to OCaml, Scala, F# etc... it is a much better language than Java and has excellent tooling for the "large teams of average or inexperienced developers, lead by a competent architect" use case) and amongst technology companies (while J2EE is not used very frequently amongst them -- because of its association with moronic garbage like EJB 2.x -- plenty use standard Java or other JVM languages). Dear Microsoft, Mono project has in fact already done the hard work for you. Why can't you embrace it (sponsor their developers, help them implement the latest specifications) and bless it as the "official" CLR for Linux and Mac or "alternative" CLR for Windows (much like Blackdown JDK was on Linux or the situation viz. IBM's JDK). Sun has used this strategy in the past: use their excellent OS as a way to sell their crappy hardware (flame retardant suit donned for the Niagara and UltraSparc-IV fanboys). They realized it's the wrong strategy, but it was too late.
- c00p3r 16y agoThe one of the main activities of a man is to support their own [de|i]llusion and avoiding to see things as they are. ^_^
- mkramlich 16y agoFunny! And the best humor usually has elements of truth to it as well.
- martinkallstrom 16y agoMy general mindset about programming languages is that it doesn't matter much what toolset you use as long as it is one you know in and out. Still, for some reason I personally wouldn't consider using Java for any programming task, ever. And I'm very curious about where this sentiment comes from. Java was my main programming language in the nineties, but the last five years I've avoided it like the plague. Whenever I hear about Java (like when seeing this clip), my spontaneous reaction is "Do people still use Java?". And that is with my wife working at Ericsson using Java as one of their main environments in huge projects alongside with C++ and Erlang. Still, it is as if I've been burnt by it. I don't want anything to do with it. All I can come up with is that I maybe never fully grasped the build tools. I've worked in fairly large Java projects. But always with a feeling of not being fully in control, of relying on trial and error in some situations. With other toolsets I feel fully in control. It's not you Java, it's me. But I still don't trust you. You never let me in on your secrets.
- h0h0h0 16y agoWhat have you been using as a replacement?
- Tichy 16y agoMost of my professional work life has been developing Java, and my feelings are similar to yours. I really can't stand it anymore. However, I wonder if part of it is the experience that "most Java jobs suck", whereas in reality most jobs suck. So had I been a Ruby developer for the last 10 years, maybe now I would be sick of Ruby. That said, there also a number of evident things that annoy me about Java.
- l0nwlf 16y agoI wonder what was Apple's Macbook Pro doing in that .net fanboi/freak house. They should be using windows on some dell/hp machine.
