![]() And they need to stop believeing their own hype that Java will save the world, recognise where it is weak, swallow some pride and do something about it. They both occupy different domains in problem space. Why cast to an Object type when the VM should really know what object type it is … (ObjectA) list.get(10)….Īs someone who has used a variety of languages… i find that its not C++ vs Java. Some thing are pretty basic and need to be fixed. A tall building may be built – and Java can certainly go high with JAIN, J2EE, and all that fancy stuff… but if base is rotting… that’s bad. and the mailing lists are dominated by types who berate any criticism.Ī language is built on foundations. Else its full of bugs and has been in a beta state since years ago. By virtue of OOp, its nice … when it works. I’m currently trying to do some graphics with the Java Adcanced Imaging. ![]() On the other hand – they leave and let rot bit of Java they once thought would be a good idea. they put a lot of effort into hot-topic libraries (telecoms, for example) and marketing (what the hell is SunOne? and why?). Clearly this is my opinion and one that may not be shared by others.įrom a developer’s perspective, the problem is not so much Java, but with Sun. With the speed of computers these days, and the tremendous amounts of memory that they come with, I really don’t see a need, nor a benefit, to writing everything natively in C or C++ anymore (libraries yes, but full apps no). It doesn’t have anything to do with laziness, it’s about picking and using the right tool for the job, in my opinion. The only people that win in this case are programmers who are too lazy to write cross-platform apps natively, and the rest of us will suffer because of it. Truly, this is a lose/lose situation for users. NET the disease or the cure? Since C# is such a blatant clone of Java, I get their roles mixed up all the time. I have to sit back and wonder if the disease in this case is really worse than the cure … Java may not be the best tool for making desktop applications (although it is a thousand times better at it than it used to be), but as many before me have said, Java really shines on the server, which is where most people deploy it now days.īut now, it’s like we gotta keep Java alive as a contender to. Users should just use the apps and shouldn’t know, or be concerned with what it’s written in. Actually, it is unfair for me to pass judgement on you based on a one sentence comment, so I apologize for that, but the truth is that people use Java everyday and don’t even know it. Obviously you are a) not a developer, and b) don’t have a lot of experience with Java. NET came along (other than to write cross platform apps that were extremely slow). ![]() Personally, I don’t understand what the hell Java was useful for before. ![]()
