The real scary part is how many of them are using Java 8 and older.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I work for one of the unicorns of my country. 3/4 of the apps I maintain only work on java 8.

Legacy code op

"Legacy code" Aka the fear of getting sued by Oracle for literal nonsense.

More like "We don't know what it does or why it's there but it seems important so don't touch it"

Write once, run ~~anywhere~~ away.

Is this a boilerplate comment?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Boilerplate comment for boilerplate meme

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Sounds like an inheritance problem.

It supports one of the best creative coding language, processing.

Here's another one: Companies depend on Adobe.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Governments depend on Microsoft.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Governments? Try critical infrastructure...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That is truly terrifying.

Off by 1 error

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Usually these things are "or less". I see looking again that it wasn't actually said.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That and: Companies are stuck with Adobe

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

That number is like 20 years old.

Today it's around 60 billion.

Spooky

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

More like terrifying

True

I have to program in Java at my work and I absolutely hate it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What version of Java? 11 up is tolerable, modern Java is nice. Still see 8 in the wild though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Java 20 mostly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm surprised, I would love to work in Java 20. Do you have any particular pain points with it? Or is it just that you'd rather be using something else?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

we programm sort algorithms in java right now and i can't really complain but i'm just a newbie

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah. I just don't like Java

C# is better

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I really do love some of the blunt and often accurate but not always replies from ChatGPT. I legit like it’s personality if that is what we can call it. Can be down right sassy at times.
