And Java's worst contribution to software was how painfully slow and resource hungry most of the software written with it tends to be...
Your argument is looking at the advantages Java brought to development speed and entirely disregarding runtime speed
- fnord77 3y agojava benchmarks are close to C's benchmarks; thousands of times faster than python
- cies 3y agonot in terms of memory usage and startup time. otherwise it's quite fast.
- jshen 3y agoI don’t like Java, but you are completely wrong.
- notamy 3y agoAny tool can be misused - the same comment could be made about Javascript, PHP, Perl, C, C++, Python, really any language.
- charrondev 3y agoThe only Java thing I work with is ElasticSearch (and in the past other lucene based search tools like Solr). These can be resource hungry depending on what your indexing but they are also faster and more scalable than other tools I’d used before.
- jjav 3y ago> And Java's worst contribution to software was how painfully slow and resource hungry most of the software written with it tends to be... It's hip to hate on java, but at least do it from an informed position. Java is extremely fast, which is why it's so popular for server code where performance matters.
