It is very structured, therefore it can handle huge projects

@yungifez

Us PHP devs be minding our own business but people be looking for trouble 🤣🤣

@TomNook.

Its still used in universities, banks and well... everywhere. Maybe not in the Twitterverse.

@declanmoore

I love that whenever anyone hates in java they specifically pick out the hello world and declare it horrifically verbose.

@user-tk7sc4gz2v

There are two kinds of programming languages: There is one that nobody uses and the other one everyone complains about!

@MAGIHAG

It is nothing more fun than maintaining a huge software project written by juniors in a language like js or python.

@cupswithphones

there are a dozen languages based on Java and javascript is not one of them...

@thisisnotok2100

javascript is absolutely NOT based on java

@zahawolfe

You try writing an entire backend in python and i'll try writing one in java and i think we both know whose will have fewer bugs. Java is more verbose, but with modern IDEs and tooling, it's actually pretty pleasant to work in

@gamesandstuff7724

Honestly, with a modern IDE, defining the main class is as simple as writing psvm and pressing tab. Printing is as simple as writing sout and pressing tab. The bigger annoyance I think is the occupation of screen space.

There are some non-intuitive things in Java, but compared to a language such as Python which has much weirder features such as multiple inheritance, next-in-line hierarchy, implicit data types, and lack of many design patterns such as function overloading, interfaces, abstract classes and proper access modifiers, it is still irreplaceable.

@otakukvothe7160

Java dev here, I have worked with JS +Swift before, both modern languages, and Java won't feel awkward as long as you have a good IDE (IntelliJ). All the boilerplate stuff doesn't need to be typed, but inserted through shortcuts. So if u know your way around the IDE, it's all the advantages without the biggest disadvantages.

@KSAVMUSIC

Bruh i hate when TikTok/youtubers make this same point as if it’s somehow a reason that the language is bad. “Oh boohoo to print hello world you have to type a few lines of code”. Java is a powerful language, and very robust. It was the first programming language I learned back when I was 15 and at the time it was THE most commonly used programming language, and 12 years later a lot of people still use it to this day. Java is a great programming language, and so is C++, and the more simplified C#. People just choosing to hop on the hate train for some of the older languages as if they aren’t still used to make incredibly complex real world applications. Here’s a tip people, find a programming language you like, get really good at it, and then explore new things. Don’t just listen to random people on the internet telling you a language is bad.

@drcl7429

drives you nuts when you are first learning it but as you become more mature you come to appreciate it and it does actually save a lot of time when you make use of objects and testing properly.

@ezntek

javascript was not based off of java, it was originally called mocha but changed to javascript because of marketing.

@theabbie3249

Verbosity is only a problem for beginners, in large softwares, it improves readability.

@andrewclarke8163

Java just makes me feel comfortable and at home in a way that other languages don't. It was far from being the first one that I learned, but everything in it just makes sense to me.

I always try to use the right tool for the job, but when there's no clear cut best, I often reach for Java because I just like it.

@VikasPoonia

Java: hated by every non cs engineers.

@ricdotnet

Truth is if you pick on java and praise python you are not a programmer or software engineer. You just use other peoples libraries to make yourself look cool in front of your friends 🤣

@spiriten

"Strongly typed" - Honestly, a huge benefit for me. I know what each of my objects is going to be
"Compiled" - Compile times will be around 3 seconds for the average developer, so who cares? It also heavily increases performance 
"Object Oriented" - Outside of C and possibly JavaScript (its a mess), I cannot name a single language commonly used which isn't object oriented.

@MasterOfHalo25

This video felt like it was designed for python devs who can't figure out statically typed languages LOL

Java is not a dead language, neither is C. Both are very robust, fast, and help minimize the bugs that come with dynamically typed languages like python.

I like to use python for GUIs and scripting only, I always use java or C as the underlying codebase. It's just so much faster and can run on a potato.
