Can anyone who's actually dealt with Java tell me how much Anon is exaggerating?
-
I've worked on a corporate project with multiple Java services, anon isn't really exaggerating. Java can be a hell scape at times
-
They forgot to mention that production Java applications apparently need to log a certain minimum number of completely meaningless stacktraces per hour to work properly. Or at least I assume that is the case from the fact that all of them do that.
-
Best with an old and vulnerable log4j on a Windows log server.
We don't know what'll happen if we update. And we don't know if the dude who coded it will answer our calls. YOLO!
-
At that point, just kill the VM the app is running on and deal with the fallout.

But none of this is relevant for a hello world program, right?
-
You would be surprised, errors right out of the box on a freshly initialized project aren't uncommon
-
As I've been working with Java professionally for years, you're right, I would be surprised, because that would be really uncommon.

Don't bother learning something new, this guy already knows it.

I'm pretty sure Java doesn't have pointers, so writing a hello world application isn't gonna fuck up nearly that hard.
The one thing he forgot though is that your source file is probably in the folder
com/companyname/net/classes/factory/factoryfactory/worker/lib/bin/refresh/jdk/model/ui/closebutton/press.java
And spread out among a bunch of other directories, and the java file is like...3 lines. But there are 10k files spread all around directories like this that are all 3 lines a piece with a class definition.

Everything in Java is a hidden pointer
-
wait, so when .io gets deregistered, are a load of companies going to have to rename their root directories and rewrite all of their include statements?
-
Thankfully, despite naming them like that, it doesn't actually seem to have any real purpose. Apparently they just wanted to make sure that different companies making different libraries didn't accidentally use the same name for their project....
-
That’s exactly the reason. And also no company is going through the bother to refactor that shit, so everything is named based on some other company 5 mergers and acquisitions ago.

They have sort of pointers, like references, that can be null...
You just "new" stuff to it and let the "garbage" collector deal with freeing stuff up. When it feels like it.

I've been programming in Java professionally for 11 years. It's not just embellishment, it's outright lying.
Threads giving you race conditions? All concurrent programming will do that if you're shit at it.
Java has come a long way. I will admit that UI in Java is terrible. I would never do that.
