Any tooling you could imagine for a language java has that + 10 other implementations. Static analysis, debuggers, profilers, telemetry integration, metrics integration, etc. And these are GOOD. Java tooling, because it's pretty old

Depends a lot on what you are doing and if you need preemption. There's not a huge penalty for using a virtual thread for compute (Other than impacting IO bound tasks).

Wrangling executor services (practically) becomes an antipattern. Where old java you'd do a singleton threadpool, virtual thread java you'd pretty much never do that. In cases where you might be tempted to do that, the common fo

Pretty much. Most of the breaks came from touching the likes of "sun.misc.Unsafe". Java versions 9->~17 added new jdk features (such as VarHandles) to allow for the safe interactions that sun.misc.Unsafe exposed. Libs had to

That was somewhat different from the way the internal stuff was numbered. You'd still see "1.5" and "1.6" everywhere when you asked the JVM for it's version. 8 was when the JVM started matching the marketing

Java went through this. There was a Java 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7. Then, Java decided "You know what, we aren't breaking backwards compatibility so instead of naming things 1.x, let's just say Java 8, 9, 1

Alternatively, check out tilt. (Especially if you are doing k8s). It'll start up everything for regular dev, supports live reload, and will put in proper waits while your environment gets into a ready state.

Winterizing the lines, leaks, and the added weight are the downsides to this. If you are in a climate where you don't need to winterize, you are probably in a climate where you can get away with a heat pump on your water heater/p

Wine is nearly as old as linux. First released in 1993. I had some awkward conversations with my parents as a teenage nerd looking into "winehq". They didn't believe me that it had nothing to do with alcohol.

There's always going to be a hole because of a legacy of not having null in the type system. Java can't simply break that. I don't think this is something that will only apply to null safety objects. Maybe initially, but I

Yeah, structured logging has a tendency to do that as well. Logs are often a treasure trove for system invaders.

Fair enough point. I'd just say that I don't believe studios are using US VFX companies out of the goodness of their souls. My dad had his own business and one thing he told me is "I'd fire one of my employees if I coul

Moreso than other software industries, I think gaming is one that faces a real threat from indie companies. For example, simcity basically died because of cities skylines.

I mean, it was "Perl 6" so is it really surprising that Perl devs wanted a language that looks nothing like any other language? Perl has it's own healthy share of "delightful surprises" and Raku was mostly designed

It's been years since I dealt with C/C++. But, from what I remember the debuggers and their integration with the IDEs wasn't great. In particular, it seemed like embedded dev with debuggers was really painful. I've fou

This conjures up the memory of articles talking about why syntax highlighting is bad. [1] It's sort of funny that the author even admits "Ok, well, I do use a debugger but only when it makes sense". Like, are there devs usin

In my view, there's duplication that could use an abstraction and duplication that is merely coincidental. (See The Wrong Abstraction by Sandi Metz [1]) Unless something screams "this should be the single source of truth about thi
