Because null is cancer.

Because "Modern Java 8" should have come out in 2006.

Because fucking Oracle.

it's like you people want to remain unemployed.

>>57278134
>Because fucking Oracle.
are the reason Java is actually somewhat tolerable nowadays

Java 7 and 8 were a huge improvement in every department

because its the top language atm ?

Its not as bad as people say it is.

lmao @ ur life

>>57278207
Java 8 Optional is 100 times better implementation for "might not exist" variables.

Actually prefer the earlier versions of Java. Annotations may make it more powerful, but also can make the code a lot more wtf.

Anyway, Runtime typesafe OO languages with garbage collection seem like the advisable option for corporate programming.

I am learning java right now.

Fuck you /g/, you memed me into oblivion, on uni I was wasting my time learning dumb shit like c and asm.

I was wasting my time to do fucking steganography assigment in C with working on raw bits while I could just write it in 1h with C#.

Now pajeets have job and I am on /g/.

>>57282234
>Annotations
I always liked how if you used

@SupressWarnings("unused")

and you didn't have any unused variables, it would give a warning saying the SupressWarnings line was unused.

Should I disable Java in Chrome? It's a fucking security risk.

>>57282526
Yes. Browser has been dead for a decade now.

>>57278041
there are better alternatives like C#.

>>57282679
Isn't JavaScript still used a lot in a bunch of sites?

>>57282703
Am I being baited? Java and javascript are seperate languages.

>>57282726
Well can you have Java in Chrome? Of course I was speaking about Java Script.

>>57282743
You used to be able to have java in browsers.

>>57282760
Not anymore.

>>57280932
Null is not a java thing. It's an everything thing.

>>57278041
/g/ doesn't. /v/ does.

>>57282451
annotations are not variables so you're either retarded or used an absolute horseshit IDE

>>57278041
Is there a way to compile java to run without the JVM?

>>57282978

Try GCJ?

>>57282978

>proprietary Java that only that only works well on winblows

>>57283400

Still works ok for a lot of stuff, though.

Honestly, it wasn't that good. People tend to think that java's slow because it runs in a VM, when it's really mostly because of the language's structure. GCJ wasn't as fast as the sun/oracle vm.

>>57278041
hate*
Because shoo shoo poo

>>57282803
> It's an everything thing.

No it's not. Plenty of better languages have non-nullable types.

idk..........................................................

>>57283656
it's not a meme
the amount of designated java pooers is so high that this language literally became shit
No serious product is based on this shit

>>57278041
because java and apk decompilers require it

>>57283746
Go to your designated shitting street and try to find a single serious product made in java
oh wait

>>57283806
The majority of the world's programmers aren't working on products. They're working on company's internal systems. And that's where java has a lot of traction.

That said, minecraft's the only thing I've ever actually *bought* that's based on java.

>>57278041
Because it's popular.
Every popular language is pajeet tier on /g/.

>>57283690
*jdk

because it was taught to me incredibly poorly (fucking bluej) and c++ is better for jobs in the fields i wanted to work

LibreOffice, Matlab, Eclipse, Vuze, nearly all android apps, Google/Amazon/Facebook/eBay ect ect...

God damnit, this is some edgy shit.

>one of Java's main advantages is that it is cross-platform
>hey guys this language that only runs on Windows is just as good

>>57278041
I like Java. /g/ is just hipster.

>>57283983
libreoffice is made in java? no wonder it's so garbage.

Can anyone recommend a word processor that isn't shit? All it needs is export to pdf functionality.

Java. The preferred language of choice.

>/g/entoomans hate Windows
>/g/entoomans praise C#
>C# only runs properly on Windows

>>57278041
Because it's the main language for doing boring things and it's well organized with a great amount of libraries. Of course most of the neet aspies in this shithole are going to hate it.

>>57278041

it's c++ for people who can't cope with pointers

it's just anal enough for you to have to worry about types but you don't get the control over memory that C++ gives you

>>57282403
I'm sorry to hear that anon. I'm really glad I didn't find /g/ until after I had a job, because it probably would have completely screwed up any chance at getting a job. The workforce doesn't want NEETs.

>>57283451
not defending C# but,
