I used to hate Java, but years of experience later, I would gladly inherit a well maintained/architected and modern Java codebase over anything written in Python or Ruby (even a well maintained one)
- postalrat 8y agoSo the only thing you would trade ruby or python for is something that doesn't exist.
- darkr 8y agoOh but it does. And even when it’s not great, it’s usually a less horrendous task to refactor into something better.
- zbentley 8y agoThat, actually, is one of the the largest selling points of Java as a platform: when it's bad, it's not that bad, and even when it is, the tools to clean it up are better than anyone else's.
