Agree But Java is not cheap disposable crap. At this point it is more a matter of taste. You don't like Java fine, but other people are able to be just as productive as you using Java and probably more depending on the programmer itself. At the end of the day it is the programmer that makes the difference.
- eropple 15y agoI would strongly contest the assertion that there is someone of equivalent programming aptitude and experience who will be as productive in Java as I would be in Scala or Clojure or C#. Boilerplate kills. It kills again when you have to go back and try to re-read code slathered in it.

- speckledjim 15y agoIf you're held back by boilerplate, you're simply not a very good programmer. You need to learn to read and write code just like you read and write english. Yes there's boilerplate, but it's not a big deal. It's not something you need to worry about. Take the sentence I just wrote: "It's not something you need to worry about". That is 8 words, 5 of which are boilerplate. The only important words are "NOT" "SOMETHING" "WORRY". Who cares? It didn't slow me down typing out the other ones. If you're really spending that much time writing code, you haven't yet worked out that programming is 90% thinking about things and 10% writing it.
