Java is cumbersome but the borow checker is not?

• skwee357 2y ago
  Missed your comment. If you come from proper languages, like C, the borrow checker is not that bad. The problem is that most developers don’t even know when variables go out of scope. Sure, there are more to that in the borrow checker, and I’m far from understanding every single use case. But for fay to day web development, it’s fine. Java on the other hand is straight up annoying. It’s super bloated, there are 101 ways to do the same thing (recent example from swing: do I do new Broder(), do I use BorderFactory? What’s the difference? When should I use each one?). And it’s extremely wordy ‘Employee foo = new Employee()’
