  1. Anyone who can master Java has my respect. I've been developing C++ applications for 30 years, but my attempt at learning Java was a pathetic failure, a process five years in the making. Eclipse was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back... total peice of garbage. It totally got in the way of actually learning the language. As did the whole Java ecosystem. That said, I conceptually dislike languages that use runtimes (e.g. .NET or JVM). My passion was (professionally) and still is (as a hobby) focussed on high performance applications developed in C and C++. Native code on bare metal. But anyway, Java destroyed my career and that has left a sour taste 😞

  2. Yeah, Java is easy until it's not, and it reaches the "not" phase pretty quickly. Wasting 15 minutes could be annoying... Java wasted 5 years of mine.

  3. I feel your pain. I hate it, but I'm here to see how good the video is.

  4. It's absolutely horrendous in my opinion. Others would disagree. I've been a software developer for 30 years (mostly C++), but Java ended it. I hated it. Couldn't cope. Time to quit. Hope you're successful.

  5. Java is the language that put me out of the industry after 30 years in it.

  6. And the option to build to native code like C++. I've never in 30 years needed to run an application on multiple OSs.
