I’m well aware. I can still offer the contrary point of view.

Using var there doesn’t leak any implementation details into any contracts. Var is for local variables inside of functions. There are no details or contracts there.

The new features make the code easier to read. For example var: List<Account> accounts = List.of(new Account(1), new Account(2)); var accounts = List.of(new Account(1), new Account(2)); It just reduces visual noise and bo

Why would sealed classes be bad design? It helps the compiler and you ensure that you have correct code and have handled all cases.

They also failed because Java never made them easy to work with. If you faced a checked error that you couldn't handle it is impractical to uncheck them. You have to write a shit ton of boilerplate. A a; try { a = som

I think C# has been able to compile the vm + your DLL into a single binary that doesn’t extract for a while now. There’s currently ongoing work for Java to do this.

> A common and popular crate in Rust for this is DashMap which doesn’t use locks and is a concurrency safe hashmap. Still not in the standard library. The only way in Rust is to use a global lock around map. Seems to be worse than the s

Ok I mispoke on Arc because I was being hasty; but you're still being pedantic. Concurrency still requires locks. Wait/lock free algorithms can't cover the entirety of concurrency. Rust ships with plenty of locks in std::sync

> Java’s memory model implies and requires the JVM to insert atomic accesses all over the place you wouldn’t expect (eg reading an integer field of a class is an atomic read and writing it is an atomic write). AFAIK that doesn’t really h

That has nothing to do with Java. The Android runtime is NOT Java/OpenJdk.

> GC tuning, Netflix I believe Netflix has moved to ZGC with no tuning. Their default setup is to set the min/max heap to the same size, enable always pretouch, and to use transparent huge pages [0]. GC tuning is something of the pa

Swift is my hope for the next big server language. Great type system, great error handling.

It’s subjective, but this is also why I haven’t tried Nim or Crystal. If you like brackets, I’d say try Swift if you want to stay in the natively compiled + GC space.

Oracle has been a fantastic steward of Java. I don’t think Java would exist or still be popular without them. Java is in its best state it’s been in decades.

You can write safe and performative code with a garbage collector. They're not mutually exclusive. It just depends on your latency and throughput requirements.

What I mean by that is this: val a: SomeType? = null // I’m forced to null check here if (a != null) { a.someMethodOnIt() } // But I don’t have to null check here a.someExtensionFn() It’s w
