Yeah, it's not like this was posted earlier today, now five threads down.
And /prog/ is notoriously a hotbed of .NET activity, so I'm sure you'll be able to troll some people here with this video.

Does java support enterprise-grade functional programming?
Like most people, I hate both .NET and Java, and I hated this video as well. Anyone who thinks Java is cross-platform in any meaningful way has never coded for it on Linux.

It's very bad on Windows as well, but not as egregiously horrible as it is on other platforms. At least Swing tends to work on Windows.

only if by "work" you mean "crash slightly less often". it's still slow as fuck, and it still crashes randomly and looks like shit.
the hilarious thing is that for all java's ENTERPRISE CROSS-PLATFORM nonsense, mono runs on more platforms.

Swing is bad enough, but apart from its appearance and terrible integration, that's not what I meant. Sooner than later, you'll find yourself developing for a particular JRE. It's a bad sign when that happens. Portability suddenly becomes a challenge without changing operating systems or hardware.
cute trailer. unfortunately, programming in java is about as enjoyable as pounding nails through your sack. A close second to the displeasure of programming in .Net, which is more like pounding nails through your dick
When did Youtube commenters turn into EXPERT PROGRAMMERS???
Java is old news. I'll keep my PHP ad C++ thank you.
Java tries to do everything, and indeed it does. It just doesn't do it right. You can't make a one size fits all language.

I don't quite understand what you are talking about. Many languages try to be a jack of all trades. And even if this was somehow a faulty thing to try, it's the standard library, not the language itself.
C++ too tries to fit in as many places as possible, and I don't know PHP really well, but it's standard library is also huge since it includes much stuff which actually are 3rd party libraries and has inconsistent conventions.
What I don't like about Java is, that it behaves like a high-level language, but is missing all kinds of sweet, modern features and made obscure design choices (on top of my head - why no fucking operator overloading??).
