Java is poison for the mind

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 11 months ago

Why do people feel this way?

I'm genuinely curious as I'd think having a wider swathe of coding experience would be a good thing wouldn't it?

I don't work in fields that use coding expertise, I drive a forklift so I'm out of my wheel house when it comes to coding.

Java in a large way has been eclipsed by most other languages, and developers kind of have a way of making fun of old technologies, like a lot of the same jokes are made about PHP which is still very popular but outdated. In reality Java is also still incredibly popular and knowing it is certainly a benefit. It's just a collective joke.
