Yes, it really is. SpringBoot especially has so much unnecessary complexity built in. I'd dread having to debug any non-trivial application written using any of the most popular Java frameworks.
- Daishiman 6y agoI've recently had to patch a site built on Spring Boot. Coming from Django, it's a disaster. Spring Boot basically attempts to turn Java from its statically compiled origins to an annotation-ladled mess full of runtime reflections and compiler pluginitis. If you're doing that, why not just go the whole hog and use an actually dynamic language and a framework that plays up the language's strengths instead of working _around_ it?
- throwaway189262 6y agoDebugging Spring is easy if you know the framework well. That's true for any framework
- sidlls 6y agoI don't find following stack traces through a bramble patch of annotation laden garbage calls and pointless abstractions to be a good fit for the word "easy." SpringBoot epitomizes the worst of the marriage between an OO fetishist and an enterprise "architect."
