This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Am I weird for liking Java? I feel like it just makes so much more sense than other languages.

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 20 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

No. Every language has its haters. There's a reason Java is so widely used. If you like it, keep at it.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yes and the reason is because millions of lines of production code were written and it isn't worth rewriting them.

Plenty of languages around now that don't have 30 years of baggage and the specter of Oracle hanging over it.

Now a days many businesses choose Go.

Now a days many businesses choose Go.

Many companies may choose something other than Java, but Java is still the behemoth.

Such a decision is taken when the company is completely new or if it is a green field project.

Even in the case of the latter, companies just choose to stick with their existing tech (read: expertise and experience of their tech teams)..
