I think this is true, but writing code in certain languages (e.g. Java 8) drives me a bit crazy. It’s like running a race with your arms tied to your sides.
I put certain languages in a general negatives bucket along with noisy offices, stack ranking, heavy process, etc.

- pharmakom 4y agoKotlin is nicer for sure, but… 1. Not every shop will let you use it 2. Kotlin has a bunch of the same limitations.
- 62951413 4y agoThe latest LTS version is JDK17 (e.g. records and switch expressions) and has been for long enough to be production ready. I reckon half of the people on this forum didn't even work in software when JDK8 was released. Yes, Kotlin/Scala would stop driving you crazy. No, I don't see nearly enough Bay Area companies deprecating Java in their favor for new services :( They are probably betting on the next LTS to come soon enough (with pattern matching and hopefully Loom).
