There are plenty of errors/exceptions that don't need to be bubbled up the call stack. I don't think that's the main issue with them. Like you say the issue with checked exceptions is that there is no escape hatch to shu

That’s why I just write Java now. It has pattern matching and sum types and they’ll never just break something for fun.

Significant white space is a drastic syntax change.

Scala just seems to have an ever changing identity. Scala 3 drastically changed syntax and now they're trying to move the language from monads to effects.

I don’t think I’ve ever worked in a codebase I’ve been excited about. I didn’t know those existed.

I honestly doubt any of the frameworks in that benchmark are using virtual threads yet. The top one is still using vert.x which is an event loop on native platform threads.

I don’t think anything runs in a vm on iOS since they don’t let you JIT compile code. Unless they’re doing pure interpretation, but I can’t imagine that being good for performance.

The NASA space probes can’t plow into a minivan with a mom and her 2 kids inside. There’s an entire different risk level here.

If you haven’t used GitHub plugins in your ide to review you should really give it a try. It’s really night and day.

All modern languages are adopting a checked error system: Rust, Swift, Kotlin, Zig, Gleam; they all have some type of error you must handle. The problem with Java is that they haven’t added the syntax to make dealing with those errors easy.

by vips7L 1y ago
Checked errors aren’t universally ignored by developers. Rusts main error system is checked. Swift has really introduced checked typed throws. Kotlin is introducing checked error unions. Checked exceptions are the same thing.

Dagger is by far the worst UX experience for a DI framework. Really you should try anything else. For compile time DI like dagger you can try Avaje Inject: https://avaje.io/inject/

A better name would probably be CronScheduler or something else. “Service” is always overused and doesn’t actually describe or mean anything.

They are a good idea. Checked errors are so important for correctness. HN’s darling Rust exclusively uses checked errors.

It’s just too complex. They should have went with the internal modifier.

Fun! I remember reading OSTEP almost 10 years ago and implementing a lottery scheduler in xv6. It really showed me at the time that these projects that seem so large and complex are really just code. https://pages.cs.wisc.edu&#x2

The issue is the ecosystem and standard library. They still will be throwing unchecked exceptions everywhere

by vips7L 1y ago
They're famously working on changing that. I think we're all hopeful that we'll start seeing the changes from Valhalla roll in post-25.

For me, it will be if they ever get checked errors of some sort. I don’t want to use a language with unchecked exceptions flying about everywhere. This isn't saying I want checked exceptions either, but I think if they get proper union

It’s poorly worded. Graal and NI aren’t going anywhere. The wording is this: “Native Image, is being discontinued for Java SE Product customers" That means that it will no longer be included as a product for the OracleJdk that you woul

This was discussed over on /r/java when it came out. The tl;dr is that it’s a poorly worded blog post about the OracleJdk (the one you pay and subscribe to). Graal isn’t going anywhere. https://www.reddit.com/r&#x2

I like where Scala 3 is headed (finally). Martin seems to realize that the simpler "direct" programming model is better and that will make the language more attractive to regular people who aren't FP purists. Though it does f

A lot are, but there is an equal amount that are of modern versions. It’s a big landscape of employers. I’ve already begun moving my team to Java 25 from 21.
