This thread reminds me that most “developers” are terrible and don’t take the time to understand the language.
All of these Java developers you guys hate is the result of schools pushing out idiots. It’s not the language but rather the type of people you hire. These people will suck at writing in any language regardless of what order they try.
Agreed, good tools can be used badly. Over the years I've written Java, C++, and PHP professionally, and I've seen excellent and horrible impls in each. Today, I mostly use Java and this thread is reminding me that I need to learn a new for-fun language.
Learn kotlin, it's awesome and runs on literally everything.
Kotlin won't save your skin if the code you wrote should be performant but you layered it into a heap of abstract classes, interfaces, factories, etc and, realistically, no one else would use or expand on that
Sure, but nobody codes like that in kotlin (or in modern Java for that matter)
