I'm glad they saw the light. Last time I used Java was in high school when it was version 7, when it was pure OOP. Didn't even have lambdas. After I learned other languages, I didn't want to use Java again, seemed like a lot of boilerplate for something that didn't even give good performance.
- PaulHoule 5mo agoI use Java all the time for ordinary programming at work, I think it is great, but I'm not in a hurry to mess with stuff off-heap.
- dionian 5mo agoJava has always given good performance for most of my use cases. Like backend servers where startup time is mostly irrelevant.
- saagarjha 5mo agoMaybe you should check again if the last time you used it was Java 7.
- traderj0e 5mo agoI've looked, it's better now, hence my comment that they saw the light. They got lambdas, records, and auto types. More importantly they got virtual threads, but that's unrelated.
