Fair point -- it's unfair to stereotype Java developers. In my mind, I meant "most developers" and I happened to be talking about Java. But that distinction wasn't clear.
It's obvious that (in the OP's case) using JavaScript didn't help the problem either -- but that was my point. Bad design is bad design. I am not making a strong claim that JS is better.
- alexscheelmeyer 14y agoI like how you apologize for stereotyping Java developers by clarifying that you really wanted to stereotype ALL kinds of developers.
- gridspy 14y agoWhen you think only in A restrictive language, your thinking becomes equally restricted. Any of us would become rigid if we never used or understood dynamic languages and only use java or c++ bog standard OOP. So the comment is less about the developer than it is about the mindset and the 'easiest path' that emerges from the language design.
