So the top 3 programming languages are Java, C, and C++, with C/C++ together larger than Java. Maybe it's Java that lives in a parallel universe?
- kleiba 15y agoI don't get your point. If A lives in a parallel universe from B, then B lives in a parallel universe from A. I think what the grandparent wanted to say is that memory management is a defining difference between the paradigms of both languages. There are some people who value the fact that they have full control over allocation and de-allocation and others who think that these are things the programmer shouldn't (have to) care about, because they're known to be error prone.
- joe_the_user 15y agoThe original parent said "Java and everything else", leaving an implication that unmanaged memory stuff was marginal. I think that's what the gp is addressing.
- SamReidHughes 15y agoNope, kleiba correctly interpreted my comment :)
