Is Java verbose? Totally.. Is it meritless (like XML)? Absolutely not. I think Java's a great language for some problems, and a fine language for loads of problems.
It's a shame that it's overused for what I guess I'd only describe as institutionalized laziness.. But I don't think it deserves to be mentioned in the same conversation as XML (when the topic is Technologies That Are Fucking Awful).
- rbanffy 16y agoI agree. I was unfair. Java is good for many things - many times you want to control details somewhere between C and, say, Perl. And yes - it's been used for all the wrong things.
