Maybe I've been reading a different Hacker News, but I haven't seen this sentiment at all one HN, especially with the love for everything JVM (Clojure, Scala) and all the Database/Big Data tools written in Java (Cassandra, Hadoop, HBase)
- dinkumthinkum 13y agoNo, now I'm not one to fall on either side here but there is certainly ... a lack of love for Java on HN. I mean its definitely there. If you hnsearch, you'll see. I agree, the JVM is a different issue.
- throwaway420 13y agoI disagree with you and think the statement that you quoted is entirely accurate. People can like the languages and tools built on top of the JVM and implemented in Java, without liking coding in Java the language itself.
