Java is so verbose it induces semantic saturation which makes t harder to read
- ppeetteerr 8y agoI agree that Java makes reading hard with regard to the semantics and unnecessary data structures for simple things like anonymous functions. I would point to Python, which is semantically the easiest language to learn. It's still possible to write illegible code (primarily due to the lack of indicator of argument and returns types and, of course, bizarre variable names).
- JanisL 8y agoI highly recommend the type annotations along with mypy for helping code readability in Python
- emodendroket 8y agoI mean, it's the same thing. If you're used to reading it you know what parts are relevant to what you're doing and what parts aren't. The difference is that if you don't know the language at all and look at some code you can likely understand what it does.
