Java by many definitions is a bit like assembly language of our current times.
You will end up stitching highly verbose pieces of code. Which is why Java IDEs have specific features to emit get/set functions etc.
Plus you will have to access a method hiding 5 class layers below. You will need IDEs designed to do this sort of work really well.
Emacs and Vi have been designed to largely play with Text, plus I think with Java's verbosity you are just better off with a specialized IDE.
- varjag 8y agoWouldn't call assembly programming "highly verbose". If anything it's opposite - very little boilerplate, if at all.
- kqr 8y agoDo we have different ideas of what boilerplate is? Almost everything in assembly is boilerplate because there are no advanced, built in features. (Sure, modern x86 assembly is a complex language with many advanced builtins but they are generally meant to express solutions in the x86 domain, not the business domain.)
- varjag 8y agoI stick to traditional definition. > In computer programming, boilerplate code or boilerplate refers to sections of code that have to be included in many places with little or no alteration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boilerplate_code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boilerplate_code
