JAVA is Awesome

I just started learning JAVA and I can't believe how awesome it is. The best thing about it is that I can run it in virtually every OS out there. Same can't be said of the other languages.

The reason noone on /prog/ likes java is they're mostly hobby coders who'll never have to use it to write a huge and difficult to maintain program.

Yes it is. I had to do some major Java crap once and it was a huge fucking headache to make everything compatible. It still only ran on a subset of available JVM's.

I bet it ran so slow it wasn't usable.

Obvious troll is obvious.
Regardless, I will bite: any VM-based or directly interpreted language can do the same. Some are even less retarded than Java is. Java's major features: broken object system, horribly overengineered class library, stupid programming conventions, reliance on get/set methods for everything... In work here I saw a Java class one of the other guys (who is better at Java than I am) wrote and it was about 200 lines of code LARGER than a class I wrote in Python. They worked identically, yet mine was 50 lines, his was 250... Yay for Java..

Exactly--people who use Java are nothing but worthless hobby coders.
