Anon tries programming in Java
(lemmy.world)
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:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
We bow to your wisdom, wise gatekeeper
It's like 5 lines of trivial code
Some of us try to understand what we're doing, rather than just copy/paste. It's easy to discount how difficult learning the basics of something is when you're already past it.
And most IDEs will autogenerate it for you.
That said, I think it highlights everything I hate about Java:
Why does it need to be a class? I'm not constructing anything?
Why is this a method? It should be a top-level function. Also, in most cases, I don't care about the arguments, so those should be left out.
Excuse me, what? Where did System come from, and why does it have an "out" static member? Also, how would I format it if I felt so inclined? So many questions.
And here are examples from languages I prefer:
C:
Ok, makes sense, I start with nothing.
Makes sense that we'd have an entrypoint.
Again, pretty simple.
Python:
Ok, Python cheats.
Rust:
Ooh, entrypoint.
I have to understand macros enough to realize this is special, but that's it.
In C, Python, and Rust, complexity starts later, whereas Java shoves it down your throat.
Thank you. If you bothered to read a 5 minutes tutorial instead of posting to 4chan, you could also reach this level of knowledge.
Don't be mad, you're the one that commented lol. It's like you're choosing to be upset
I thanked you for your reply and suggested reading a tutorial. How does that make me mad and upset? You're acting weird.
