Ask HN: Will Log4j exploit be the end of Java?
Is this the end of Java or just a bump in the road?
- Retr0id 5y agoIt's not even a bump.
- josephcsible 5y agoWhy would it be? It could have happened in any programming language.
- hpen 5y agoTotally agree. But it DID happen in Java. So, I was thinking some might be turned off from bad PR.
- usrbinbash 5y agoLanguages never die from bad PR. Languages die when no one uses them. There are only 2 kinds of programming languages: The ones people complain about, and the ones no one cares about.
- hpen 5y agoHey bro you should credit Bjarne with your little quote there
- usrbinbash 5y agoI could have, if I knew that it was him who said it. Thanks for the info.
- ksec 5y agoI mean you could at least start with an argument as to why it is the end of Java. But as other have replied, no, it is not even a bump. I am not even sure why Log4J relate to the end of Java ecosystem. That is like saying heartbleed is the end of C.
- hpen 5y agoNah this is a genuine question from me. My friend (a Java programmer) brought up the idea, and I was curious. Also I read something on HN about it being the most wide spread and critical exploit of the decade.
