I have found that Java enforces a higher floor of readability than most languages, simply because you have to type out so much "boilerplate" for everything. Though even that does not come close to Haskell. Ironically, the introduction of lambdas made bad Java code using them far less readable.
- marcosdumay 8y agoYes. On my eyes Java was always the clear choice for enterprise code, because people come and go, and one bad apple does not destroy the entire code base on Java. After I learned Haskell I had a "I knew nothing!" moment. Anybody writing enterprise code on anything that is not as safe as Haskell (that is, basically everybody) is letting a lot of money on the table.
