- udp 14y agoI dislike Java to develop in. I don't dislike software just because it's written in Java, nor do I wish that everything written in Java wasn't.
- digitalsushi 14y agoWhoa, that is harsh. Is it ok I am a ruby developer that likes java?
- MattBearman 14y agoI'm a Ruby dev with no feelings about Java (never programmed in it). I've gotta say these kind of posts piss me off. A programming language is a tool, nothing more, nothing less. Certain tools are better than others for certain jobs.
- WaynesWorld 14y agoI feel the same. A programming language is just a tool. And yet your ilk have been bashing it for way too long. Maybe not you, but a vocal group of Ruby developers have. I program in C,C++,Java,VBA,JavaScrip,PL-SQL and I've even dabbled in Ruby, Perl and LISP. However, I still find it offensive that some noob Ruby developers think somehow that they are the chosen ones and can bash other developers without expecting any backlash.
- illuminate 14y agoPreemptively "anti-fanboying" doesn't really raise the level of discourse.
- jff 14y agoAnd I can only assume that Java is why it runs at a crawl even at startup. But then, I only have 4 GB of RAM, enough to play pretty much every AAA game of today, but I guess Minecraft's ~cutting edge graphics~ are too complex.
- eropple 14y agoI am skeptical of this claim, and I've spent a decent amount of time both writing C++ for games and in the Java guts of Minecraft. At one point it had pretty significant perf problems due to naive drawing behaviors; it does no longer and is pretty solidly optimized--though there's not much you can do about GC pauses, it doesn't really impact the gameplay. Keep trying, though. You'll snark well someday.
