A love letter to Java
- jjgreen 12y agoJava: write once, run away.
- pauloteixeira 12y agoProbably you are the first guy that I hear that have a 'love letter to Java'. I like your POV and you are absolutely right although I don't like Java very much, but it's because it is what taught me in college. If I write a love letter it would be for Ruby.
- gravypod 12y agoHey, I just wanted to know what you didn't like about java. Since 1.6 things have been getting very good for the ecosystem. Would you care to share some of your complaints?
- pauloteixeira 12y agoIMO is to heavy for what it does and is what teach me in 3 years of college, and I haven't a great opinion about college. And for the past years I create a great relation with RoR, love the simplicity of just open terminal and sublime.
- ElectronCharge 12y agoJava is a so-so language, but the JVM ecosystem is excellent. That said, a lot of good things are done with Java, and it's my main development language on the job right now. Scala is looking very promising as a really excellent language atop the JVM. Clojure also has a lot of adherents these days.
