Cancel culture has been firmly adopted by all political sides now. It is simply too powerful and effective a weapon to be not used.

Nobody complains about the Rust turbo-fish operator which is pretty verbose too. Java has already has introduced a direct toList()/toArray() anyways. let v = (1..5).collect::<Vec<i32>>(); // Cool Rust

Can you explain what the friction is ? If you download and install the ActiveState Python distribution in a commercial setting and accept the license agreement without reading and get sued legally at a later point, will you say Python has t

Businesses often deal with old databases, message queues, SOAP services, legacy systems. Java has a truckload of well-established connectors (Even more than Python!), well-supported JDBC drivers, and vendor-supported SDKs. Also features lik

Just go to https://openjdk.org/ and click on the "download" link. Or use your OS package manager and <pkgManager> install openjdk. Problem solved. Just like any other software, you know ?

Oracle JDK offers LTS support with regular security patches and critical bug fixes, even for older LTS releases. (More than a decade plus, I believe, but need to check) OpenJDK community builds usually only provide updates until the next re

Beyond a certain project size, GraalVM compiles to the same binary size as Go. Many k8s projects produce binary sizes of >100MB. I think this is because LOC in Go scales poorly. Go's real edge over Java is in memory consumption, not

Aren't they being very non-racist ? AFAIK all illegal immigrants get deported - brown or yellow or whatever. Why have immigration laws if they are not enforced ? If there should be 100% open entry & benefits to the US, then Congres

Err..I find the short-line version easier to read. Esp if you need to horizontally scroll. This is why a Big Dictator should just make a standard. Everyone who doesn't like the standard approach just gets used to it.
