What do the pajeets of /g/ have to say about this?
That he is right
He's right. C++ doesn't even feel like a C derivative any more, it's a bloated mess.

as much as i hate taking coding advice from the man who made the least optimized game ever, he is entirely correct.

you have to remember when he started writing Minecraft he had no idea it would blow up like it did. It was supposed to be kind of a proof of concept. Java made building it quick and easier than doing so in C++ plus the modding scene grew extremely fast due to it being Java. With hindsight I am sure he would have preferred to use another language but he still made a literal fuck tonne of money from it and it is one of the most successful games of all time even if it does run kinda shit

>a guy whose most successful product is written in java

He's right. C++ is just piles of shit upon piles of shit.

i downloaded the game recently for my hot little brother and i think they did (notch is out of it now i think) a pretty good job with Java and a game full of cubes (even under the ground) (compared to itself in the same machine years ago)
or Oracle made Java run better
or both

C++ is, in practice, a runtime-less Java
