I've always maintained that java itself is not so bad. It's the things people have done with it that make angels cry. People are the problem, not java. Leave java alone.
- icambron 13y agoLanguages aren't just syntax rules; they're ecosystems. And unless you want to build everything from scratch, you're going to need to use libraries and frameworks from that ecosystem, and you'll have to play by their rules. Further, you'll probably end up impedance-matching your code to those frameworks, just to make your architecture cleaner. Later, you'll seek help on some aspect of your project and most of the respondents' advice will follow the basic patterns of How Java is Written. Then you're going to hire additional programmers with lots of Java experience to help you build it, and they'll come with a bunch of notions on what the best practices are. So I'm not sure there's a practical distinction between "Java itself" and "things people have done with it". Java is people.
