You have to make a choice: Never be able to program in any language other than Java again, or never be able to talk in any language other than Javanese ever again. WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE?]
There's plenty enough (yuck)Social Media to allow a modern person to live most of their life without talking directly to other people, so I'd probably pick the latter.

Retardfag(in relation to programming) here. Is Java actually that bad? I used to be in computing science. I loved doing introductory things in C++ in my first couple semesters but then ended up getting into java for my next couple. I couldn't fucking stand it. However, I just thought that it was sort of how computing science goes so I got out of it. I was doing good, wasn't hard or anything but those classes just sort of turned me away from the course and thinking back a good portion of it was just me hating to program in Java. Is java bad?
Is Java actually that bad?
It's really a matter of taste, and Java is not to mine.
On the topic of Java and Computer Science, my friend was in his computer architecture class earlier this week and the teacher asked how many people had programmed in a High Level Language. All the engineers raised their hand, but surprisingly none of the Computer Scientists. He then asked how many people had programmed in Java, with erm less than surprising results.I realise this is mostly a reflection on the University, but it makes me wonder just how stupid the average Java code monkey is.

Where are you going with this? I'm having trouble seeing the intentions behind that bait post.

These guys are just trolling. Java is awesome.

Java is good and bad, like most programming languages. It was great for it's paradigm and portability which allowed it to be ENTERPRISE READY, but it's paradigm can also get in the way of things and make you end up creating hacks that end up taking more time and making your code less obvious than it should be.
Java is a pretty vanilla language, it's good for what it's made for, it makes a lot of common tasks easy, but be aware that there's languages much better designed and much more pleasant to code in.
