Definitely there's no reason why Java libraries couldn't be as polished as in other popular languages. (Or why every Enterprise pattern should be present.) It's easy to just consume libraries and complain when they fail instead of contributing. Although I realize that a large part of the user base is corporate and just getting a permission to contribute during work hours can be problematic.
- imglorp 5y agoIt's not just getting permission--and maybe I'm generalizing way too far here--but it seems much of "enterprise" java culture is oriented around commoditized, interchangeable cog people who meet KPIs just like it's composed of commoditized, interchangeable components which implement interfaces. So they get cog behaviors, as designed. Polished, masterful, crafted product is hard to KPI for.
- rp1 5y agoI think you’re generalizing way too much. Java is old. The libraries are old. There is a lot of bad old code out there, and very little glory in fixing it.
