An interesting take. You get lots of things for free when targeting JVM bytecode. GCs, JITs, interop with one of the largest and most battle tested ecosystems.

I've noticed this a lot in LLM generated Java. Since it doesn't know what can or can't be null it tends to wrap everything in Optional<T>. Super strong type systems are becoming even more important.

The kernel and ntfs does not care about slash direction. Specific programs like dir might though and honestly if you're on windows just use powershell and avoid legacy cmd stuff.

It'll be interesting long term to see where they go with Kotlin. WRT value classes they'll probably introduce something like @JvmValue like the did with @JvmRecord when data classes diverged from Java records.

Kotlin also has its own features that differ from the way the JVM or Java has decided to develop them. For example: coroutines vs virtual threads or Kotlin “value” classes and Java value classes. The semantics don’t match and Kotlin stops b

Aren’t LLMs notorious for just making tests pass and not actually testing functionality?

> Like, why? Because everyone, including this forum, is addicted to the instant gratification of LLMs. It’s pure hubris of thinking you can scan the output and it does what you think it does.

There’s plenty of errors that aren’t able to be handled. But yes I agree most developers don’t understand exceptions. They seem to be scared of them tbh and there’s lots of bad advice floating around about them. Like “exceptions should be e

Yeah! I eluded to that. Exceptions aren’t fully in the type system. I’m hopeful that they’ll eventually let exceptions be some sort of union type fully. Currently, they’re unions in throws clauses and catch clauses. Personally for me it’s n
