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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Can anyone who's actually dealt with Java tell me how much Anon is exaggerating?
It's much better today, but in 2010 that was 100% accurate.
That being said, using Java as a first time programming language is like a 15 year old trying to fly an airliner to get a few blocks away to pick up some after school snacks. Obviously it's way overkill. Sure you could get across town with it, but it's probably 1000x more complicated than just a simple bicycle or even walking.
Java is industrial strength for professionals. There's absolutely no consideration made for educational usage.
Disagree. It's an outdated tool today. Professionals would not choose it for new projects.
Java isn't outdated it is stable, today you don't need JakartaEE you can use something like Spring Boot, Quarkus, or a microframework.
Try to run an
npm installon a 3 year old Angular or React project and most likely it won't work
