In all fairness, I do like some of the more recent additions to the core language. And I still write the occasional Java program even today - when I do, I certainly do it the way you describe, ignoring all the cruft.
But there's not doubt about the fact that mainstream Java has taken a wrong turn at some point.
- vbezhenar 6y agoAll those abstract factories originated in the Gang of Four patterns book. And this book was written with C++ examples. So I'm not sure that it's a Java to blame. More like general approach of software development at that time and Java happened to be the most popular language at that time as well.
- kleiba 6y agoYeah, the exact reasons and who is to blame are not clear. But ultimately, it is what it is. I'm not blaming the process, I'm detesting the result.
