I use all those languages too. Use the right tool for the job. Don't be dogmatic. And don't disparage others.
Would I start a new project in Java? Probably not. But I might reach for other jvm languages that were mentioned elsewhere. I'm definitely not too cool to work on an existing Java project. It's fine.
- ilovecaching 8y agoDon't conclude that someone is being dogmatic without compelling arguments. Java is a technology, it's ok for it to be superseded by changes in the landscape. I also never said that people should stop using Java, I simply said I felt bad for the people that had to work with it given that it's obsoleted by improvements in sandboxing, package management, and language design.
