Compilation time - just to point one measurable advantage of java.
Also please remember that code is read much more often than it is written, so having many different ways to do single thing may not sound like a such good idea for people maintaining your code.
- eklavya 12y agoI agree that compilation is a lot slower but it's actually not that much for any practical use. In any case recompilations happen a lot more than from scratch compilations, which are fast. Don't you agree that different styles will be there no matter what in any high level language? You will always find code written by other people to be different. Some comments make it look like the different styles feel like different languages but short of writing Java in Scala you won't find that to be the case. I will agree that some codebases are slightly more complex but they are libraries and they are complex because they want me to have a nicer, richer API.
