Java review

Good:

- 5 year olds should be able to learn how to make multithreaded applications
- Cross platform
- Great development tools (IDEs and such)
- You don't have to make/download amounts of libraries to develop great and helpful apps, the standard library is huge

Bad:

- Memory hog
- Java programmers: Herppppp Derpppp, internal char array?? nooo, its a string, what internal char array?? what is that
- No function pointers
- No operator overloading
- Everything is a reference, unless you implement Cloneable, sorry, i prefer "&"
- No #define

>>37
- No operator overloading
Yes, because it's so far more confusing to define "+" rather than define "add". Down with infix operators! Oh, wait, this sort of bullshit about "operator overloading" (I like to call it defining infix-syntax functions) being wrong usually comes from the same people who claim Lisp's strictly prefix syntax sucks. The irony.

Also == and switch should work on Strings.
More irony.

- Standard library is too big
It's too shit, not too big. It does what it should do, but it does so in an overengineered, complicated, overdone, queer and abhorrent enterprise way that challenges your sanity and peace of mind. One day this inane, enormous pile of enterprise blasphemy and aberration will grow temporary eyes and limbs and become your master, not unlike a Shoggoth. Ever hear tell of a Shoggoth?
