Java

Why would anyone ever need to use Java? Why is there all this Clojure and Jruby and Jython shit? Shit's pointless, brah.

Why did you just lump Clojure in with Jruby and Jython? And why didn't you mention Scala?

The only way these pigs will ever get me to use any software related to the JVM is if the JVM morphs into GHC. Doesn't seem likely.

You are kidding arent you ? That sounds preposterous to me. I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

Why? Because the JVM was made to run Java bytecode. Java was made to compile to Java bytecode. So the JVM was meant to run Java.

Then MS came along and said, wow that is some faggy shit. Lets ruin it. Then Sun got all butt hurt and anti-trust shit happened.

So MS said fuck you fags. We'll make our own shit and it will be 10x better.

So they made .Net, and it is infinitely better in every way. It is not language dependent.

So Java has 1 language. .Net has 40+.

Some butt-hurt fags were like fuck that, we'll add more languages to Java. But the JVM is so shitty and lacking in dynamic dispatch, those aren't real languages compiled to Java byetcode. They are really wrappers. That is, there are no other first class languages for Java other than the Java language.

The guy who made Jython even said fuck this. He quit that fail shit and moved on the IronPython for .Net. That evolved in to the DLR for running dynamic languages on .Net and now he works for MS.

Sun has been trying hard to implement true first class dynamic languages on Java, and here were are years later with no progress. It took a few months to get it working on .Net and here we are a little over a year later and .Net DRL has at least 5 full langauges in Beta (with a dozen more in the works) and soon to go Gold.

So to answer your question, the reason people still use Java is because they are the retards of the programming world.

What the hell, man? Clojure and Scala both compile to bytecode.

Did you mean Javascript?

A) Because companies have existing Java code bases.

B) Because Java is for platform-independent ENTERPRISE LEVEL SOLUTIONS FOR AGILE DEVELOPMENT

C) Because they teach Java at college.

D) Because people are faggots.

E) Because they didn't read SICP.

How did you get a time machine to post from 2007?

get back to /g/

bytecode somewhat slower like what Java does   not have functions   for their argument   and may return   a function as   func var 1   var 2 etc   for lookup Polygons   are fine too   The last point   may be the   pinnacle of good   taste and decency   Keep typing Maybe   someday you ll   never know 5?
