[java] Java is my friend

Very nice, rating++!

You're so cool [grin]

so poetic... i bet you get all the ladies

Disclaimer: I'm not a C++ bigot, I am Java-friendly...buuuuut...

Where's the part about Java's memory usage bringing your machine to a halt? :)

I like Java.
I'd never uninstall.
Its programs won't destroy my computer,
Because they barely run at all.

I think even Shakespear would be hard pressed to make peotry out of that![smile]

To garbage collect or not to garbage collect, that is the question...

Hmmm....

It's pretty sad when a staff member trolls.

In this case, How can you argue it's allowable? See 3/16/2004 entry. John's earned the right to say wtf ever he wants about java... imho of course.

lmao your poem works too heheh

Well the argument he's making is that Java's "libraries" are a mess. And really, I think most people would agree with that statement.

How about:

I don't want to cause any drama,
I but I really can't stand Java,
Because to play a first-person-shooter,
I'd need a super-computer!


Ok, so it's not entirely true, lighten up, it's funny!
[lol]

Java hates you all. Do not taunt the Java.

Java is the best,
To meet your deadline unstressed,
Because your project would go slowly,
If you had to use C only!


Ok, not as good, but I tried.

Exactly. Trolling is a right that I've justly earned.

That being said. . .

I really do like Java.
Please don't think me a jerk.
Everything's got eight function calls.
And one of them will work.

But code like this (taken from the referenced blog entry) earns you nothing but the Common Noob Mistake award: Answers.addElement(new String("")); [embarrass]

I know you're not a noob coder and this is not a flame, but that's as big a noob mistake in Java as there is. Two cookies to the first who can explain why!

This has the same effect and is more clear:
Answers.addElement("");

Though I'm not sure that's what you were getting at

Well, you've got the code right, but not the reasoning behind it. It isn't the same at all. Only one cookie for you.
