I have the exact opposite experience. I haven't coded much Java, but when I tried to revisit it, code I wrote 10 or 20 years ago doesn't even remotely compile anymore. While with C++, 20 years later you may need to add a missing #include (that you were always supposed to have), but then it just works as it always has. Java is, in my opinion, a complete mess. And I think it's weird how anybody could like it past the 1990s. C++ not being compilable later hasn't been true since pre standard C++. We're talking 1980s now. https://blog.habets.se/2022/08/Java-a-fractal-of-bad-experiments.html https://blog.habets.se/2022/08/Java-a-fractal-of-bad-experim...
