write once, fail anywhere

"Java is write once, run away." - Uriel

You can just throw jar files at people and they can just run them. It's nice if this is a requirement for whatever you're making.

Uriel is the epitome of the BSD community:
- make inflammatory and misleading comments in every forum thread or bulletin board
- encourage a hostile culture
- contribute absolutely nothing software-wise
- actually be depressed in secret because you're a failure in life

You can also bundle the JVM along with your code and run it as an executable.

>>60528538
you forgot
- kill yourself
- have other suicidal losers pine over you

It's ok technically, and I guess you have no choice in some enterprise environments, but overall there's no reason to use Java/JVM nowadays.

>>60528576
Yeah, agree

if it works it is ok.
if it is not works it is not ok.

depends on what you want to do?

> write once, fail anywhere
Eh. No.

> whats your opinion on java?
Okay language with a good ecosystem overall.

But I do prefer to use Scala myself.

Honestly I like it. The biggest issue is how verbose it is and how much boiler plate code it has but IntelliJ solves those two issues by being a good IDE.

On the whole Java is fast and secure and super fucking easy to write plus it has two decent built in GUI frameworks should you need them, and excellent threading and networking out of the box.

My only real complaint is that Oracle are a bunch of cunts. I wish Google had bought Java from Sun before they sold to Oracle.

>>60528545
how much larger does this make filesizes?

>>60528496
Is a good language.
Has it's flaws though, could be way better.

Still, it's not THAT bad as some people like to meme about.

>>60528988
Depends on how many third-party libraries you depend on. Just the JVM itself isn't that big, but don't have any concrete numbers for you here and now.

>>60528956
Google also is a problem. They break and discontinue things all the time, most of the time without throwing sauce out there when they discontinue.

Five years down the road, they might have been like "Java is deprecated now, everyone switch to Go VM".

>>60528496
it works and has the most advanced runtime and tooling ecosystem in the world

Also, did you mean:
- debug yourself
?
