The Java code "looks" like they do the same because they generate code to simulate method references instead. It's pretty clever and Javas code generation support for Annotation Processors is excellent and makes it possible to do this in a cross-ide cross-build-system way
LINQ and JOOQ/QueryDSL all work on plain data objects with fields. But with Java you do it on a pseudo object generated from your existing classes
- scarface74 8y agoThat's really interesting. All of these years I've been beating up on Java for lack of something akin to LINQ. I guess I'll have to find something else to complain about.....
- spricket 8y agoIMO LINQ is still better because of how integrated into the language it is. JOOQ and QueryDSL were basically designed to replicate it as much as possible but not nearly to convenience levels of LINQ + Entity Framework
