Interesting polemic. The arguments aren't super compelling to me. Ultimately java is just a tool. The culture around it shapes the macro picture but still.

- ryanobjc 13y agoFollowing up, the main argument is "java doesnt have hashes built in". Well neither does C, C++ as well. Nor does Scala actually. There are a lot of good things about Java, namely the JVM, interfaces, great libraries, reflection and code generation, etc, etc. For example libraries like jmock/etc.
- zoodle 13y agoC++ does include hash functions. Of course, most will just use std::unordered_map. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/functional/hash/ http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/functional/hash/
- ryanobjc 13y agoThat isn't part of the language, that's part of the standard library. Just the same as java, which has a standard hashing function, AND hash table/map. Ultimately, where does the language end, and the standard library begin? Whats the real difference? Yeah, so C++ and Java don't have built in syntax for hash tables. That's it?
