Agreed. Reading and writing Java code just really annoys me. It's so ugly, in my opinion.

- dboreham 4y agoJust for balance: after writing much Java years ago, then moving on to mostly JS/TS, Scala and Kotlin, going back and looking at old Java I forget writing, it looks very nice and easy to understand.
- dahfizz 4y ago>> It's so ugly > nice and easy to understand Java is definitely more practical than pretty. This frustrates the trendy crowd, but I think its important for tools to be practical. Shiny, pretty languages are never as long-lived as practical "ugly" languages.

- seanw444 4y agoI'm certainly not a member of the "trendy crowd." I say Java is ugly as a fan of Lisp and C. There's just so much boilerplate to implement something basic.
