That was always the core issue with Java for me. No matter how hard they tried to sell me that they finally fixed UI with Swing and whatnot, it always felt like Java apps lived in their own bubble, consumed massive resources and we're slow in general.
The best approach so far is Android and even then, I would say that the big difference between iOS and Android is precisely when the garbage collector kicks in and you get to see a phone with hiccups.
But of course, the Java language itself is loved by the academia as it conforms nicely to everything that is taught in proper architecture (even if it is verbose like no one)
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoI have no idea where you came up with Java being especially loved by academia? If anything, it’s quite the opposite, especially in the PL community.
- dragonwriter 8y agoIt was for a while (and still is to a lesser extent) very common in pedagogy, though this was more a result of industrial popularity than any love from academia.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoJava was the rage teaching language in the earlier part of this century, but that isn't really true today. Python is more popular.
- zamber 8y agoPoland evidently lags behind then. Still C/C++ and Java. Got a lot of colleagues stuck in Java after finishing degrees.
- aclsid 8y agoOk I should have said was loved, because that was certainly the case for me. They loved explaining entity objects, factories and others in Java. But I think you are right as far as Python taking over. I don't understand the downvotes for the comment though, jesus, it's like I insulted somebody's kid by giving my opinion.
