The issue with Java is that you need an IDE for it to be usable. That's not an argument for Java itself.
- kaba0 6y agoIt needs an ide as much as any other language. Java programmers are just lucky that they have the best IDEs around.
- daptaq 5y agoGo was perfectly usable without an IDE, before gocode broke. And I'd still rather program C without any help than Java.
- kaba0 5y agoWell, C doesn’t have great IDEs because of its reliance on text-based macro magic. And that is your opinion, not shared by many. There is nothing inherent in the language that makes it hard to write from a text editor. It’s definitely not made for scripting, but with like 4 additional lines you have to write as a main method, I wouldn’t call it infeasible.
