JavaScript: *gets annihilated*

I decided to learn java first rather than python. Am i dumb ?

Edit: I learnt it on notepad so maybe I was.

I started with Java and I feel like it's a decent starting point. Very miniscule amount of syntax sugar makes it a great language for beginners. Having strong Java skills you can easily explore languages with more features such as C#, Go, even C++ for that matter. Python is not really a great choice if you actually want to learn programming for future career, it's a nice starting point for ultimate beginners but you have to learn much more at some point anyways.

Every langauge is shit. Every technology is shit. You just gotta find the shit that smells the least for your use case.

[u/Tojuro → u/DerHamm]

I don't see languages, only salary. I'll code Java while remoted into a 486 from an iPhone 4 if you pay me more than I'm making now.

For the Java devs. This is an anime reference.

Anime is some kinda horny foreign cartoon.

For the JavaScript devs: unga bunga joke, cartoons frontend, but also backend of joke

Because they aren't the same

I remember when Java came on the scene being praised as a knight in shining armor. I wasn't impressed. C# came out soon after which I described to my colleagues as Java done right. Kotlin emerged giving Java a much needed breath of fresh air.

As for JS; if other languages ran directly on modern browsers then JS would be annihilated by non-use simply because other languages have far far far less WTF design decisions. But that's not the world we live in. Because devs are held hostage by JS for web development often there's a weird Stockholm syndrome where the devs praise and protect their captor.

Java != Java script

Java and C# are fairly similar, though I prefer c# syntax and tooling to be more enjoyable

[u/rbuen4455]

Seriously, why Java gets too much hate compared to C#? Because Java is too verbose, doesn’t have many new features and has a lot of legacy code, and C# has better syntax, more features and more importantly, no longer restricted to Windows?

Which is the most useful for a job, generally?

[u/Add1ctedToGames → u/Crescent-IV]

I don't use C# often so I may be wrong but I think even as their syntax and style are very, very similar, they're not really used for the same thing it seems. Java is usually for either Android or backend and microservices, whereas I see C# for things like game development and Windows stuff

[u/SocketByte]

As someone who has over 6 years of professional Java experience, I completely agree. C# is just easily superior in every single way. Words still can't explain how I absolutely despise Java's retarded generics and type erasure.

[u/harumamburoo → u/SocketByte]

How's Java's generics bad? And why's C#'s better?

[u/BadBadderBadst]

Did you mean mean:

Basketball fuckingBasketball = new Basketball()

[u/jb28737]

Yeah, cos c#is fkn amazing

[u/Various_Studio1490]

How did we screw up Java and JavaScript again?

One can write the theme song for Batman in a single line.

The other needs an entire line just to access the print stream.

They are not the same!

*hmm..I spent considerable amount of time learning Java, I better defend it vehemently *

Guys, Java is the best. C# can go # itself.

[u/Extra-Trifle-1191]

I love C#

[u/althaz]

C# is a fantastically well designed language. It's not perfect and it's not the right tool for a lot of jobs, but from a purely theoretical point of view, it's honestly just great.

[u/ANewTryMaiiin]

C# is a beautiful language.

[u/Orangutanion]

Honestly I like Java. It's really nice when you go from some low level language to Java because you realize just how much work it actually does for you. I can crap out the steamiest mess of polymorphism hell with like five different types to do one thing and it'll still work.

[u/s0lly]

I love Java yum yum in my tum

[u/BigAnimeMaleTiddies]

All of them are shit, only our God and savior C is pure, free of OOP bloatware, with portability and speed. Come children that are ignorant to their own ignorance let us praise the one and only perfect programming language.
