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

>making a tile based game
>taught to keep everything object oriented; even the tiles themselves
>make it so each tile class is 1 byte
>make a 128x128x128 map
>look at memory consumption
>It's over 150mb of ram usage
god damnit are you serious?
