If you are not watching this video on release day, then maybe look at the release date before commenting

"Java had before C# had it, which of course makes it better" I had to rewind it 2 times to make sure that I heard correctly, then I looked at the calendar and it all made sense.

😂 You can almost feel physical pain radiating from the video at things like the lack of string interpolation, mandatory escaping, and hanging brackets. This was a great one for today. Made me laugh

Man, I loved how hard it was sometimes to make Java sound better than C#.

Those who are old enough, remembers that c# itself felt like a java clone when it was first announced. Not to mention the whole j# and a lawsuit on api architecture between sun and ms. I was in college when this happened so at that time I couldn't understand the big technical background around this whole situation but I remember my vb/microsoft teacher, and java/linux teacher arguing a lot on this, during lunch hours.

I'm happy we're getting Java content from Nick even if its 1 day per year.

while C# isn't really an innovator, I do appreciate that the features it copies are generally better thought out than they were in their respective languages of origin.

He really programmed in Java, he put an excruciating amount of effort into this joke

Specially liked the moments with zooming 😂 You rock, Nick!🤘

I laugh and cry at the same time, because I had to switch from C# to Java (new Job). Think of those fellow programmers who have to deal with that horrible disease everyday. Not just on April 1st.

When your sarcasm is so advanced that people actually think you are stupid. 5:01

It is shame that for some most tasty features that exist in C# you have to use third-party library like lombok in java, I talk about extension methods in first place. The second thing in java that I cannot understand are generic collections, they can be casted to non-generic collection, that means that value types in collections are always boxed in objects under the hood, java generic collections are only for convenience, missing memory efficiency. On the other side java includes exceptions in method signature - this is awesome feature that lacks in C#. But I still use and love both, all java language differences are minor, inconsiderable and just matter of habit. Really big difference is in java ecosystem, in that long trail of useless legacy code that follows java cause of it's maturity, some concepts are evolved and implemented completely different modern days, but java not keeping up this pace, they still offer you spring MVC as default way to do web and no even sign of middleware approach from C#. And I didn't mention that monstrous app servers like JBoss, Weblogic, etc mandatory to do some enterprise stuff, which in C# can be done out of box. What is conclusion - I always start new projects in C# to use all modern approaches, but still comfortable to work with some legacy code in java cause it is very good language as well.

I honestly think the enum's as classes thing is never going to be copied. It's a feature I've called an anti pattern lots of times. The enum in C# is just a way to document the meaning of these values, but really in behind it's an int or something. It doesn't need to be used to encapsulate logic.

2:46 The expression on your face with the reference check 😂.

i love this kind of humor. 😂 please do more like this!

There were some lol moments in this video. Thanks Nick, you made my day 😂

I learned Java and (Mono) C# on my own ~8 years ago, while having PHP jobs, and decided to go all in on C# solely on my own feelings from using both languages at the time. I think I'm happy I did so: C# has grown so much, and though MS's early attempts at C# for the web were embarrassing, today there isn't a language I'd rather use. that said, when I saw the introduction of raw strings in C#, I was literally laughing; the syntax feels too silly to be real. (pattern matching syntax also isn't anything to be proud of, I feel...) still: looks like C# landed somewhere better than whatever Java came up with, so I guess I'll take it :P

If it wasn't April first, it would actually start a riot :)

ohh Nick... you make my day!

Great video! Had a great laugh xD

You forgot about non-generic ArrayLists, because why define a type when it just gets in the way and only supports storing one type /s

The part where you zoom in and say "Excellent" made me laugh , i was imagining Mr Burns voice and hand gesture to go with it.

Generics are also cool in Java because Java has them. Don't look at or compare the implementation details or runtime behaviour with C#, it has them and that's cool.

Those are all such great features... Too bad our app is still forced to use Java 8.

Don't forget Java's amazing cli tool that can create Java projects based on numerous templates and Java's amazing standard package manager.

Nick, did you see that .NET 9 you can have other developers write your code for you?

Laughing hard while watching one of Nick Chapsas' technical videos is the last thing I would have imaged I'd be doing. 😹 Loved the subtle sarcasm, 'was just perfect! 👌

You're the best one dude, definitely loved the video

Great video for April 1st :)

Well played, Nick, well played! 😂

Firstly when I got notification I was confused, you rearly post outside of your schedule, but when i watched the video I understood why you posted today. Java >>>> C# thats why we support you!

There is no need to say that Java or c# are better.. the both languages are very clean and powerfull. I am pretty sure we could find some stuff created on C# and retreived after somme times in Java.. And even if it is not the case, the both languages have ++ and -- .. chose the one you prefer, and enjoy! :).. for a 1st April it is a nice video.

Nick having some fun on the 1st of April

Can't believe Java actually still has no string interpolation

Nice another Video 🔥

You should really do this video idea but with kotlin as I think kotlin is way more comparable to c# especially as of recently

Lol, Easter Egg style video. Happy April 1st

νικολα πες και κατι για front end .. αυτο δεν θα ειναι πρωταπριλιατικο αστειο ... ποσους controllers να φτιαξουμε ?

Thank you Nick for teaching us Java 🤓 ❤

Someday, Nick Chapsas will finally realize Cobol is the future. Can't wait for this channel to embrace the change.

This is gold!

Keep these comparisons coming...

I know it was an April 1st Video, I also think it was very good one, but I've true Story for this Topic: I've written simple Singleplayer Game Trainer in so much different languages in over 20 years and I can tell you, it was in every language kind of the same amount of work. The lower languages (C and Pascal) had as benefit that it's not complicated at all to mess with the memory, but all the higher languages made it good with syntax sugar, even JavaScript. Let's say with 200 lines i'd already something Hotkey controlled.. And then I faced my Enemy... I always hated Java, but it had to be done.. And hey, I only needed to write 3 Interfaces, 3 Adapters and invoke 2 binary jar files for calling the Windows API Functions I needed. I was able to write at least a trainer which worked if I told it what the process id of the Process was because for getting the Processes ID of a Process alone, it had me costs 2 other Interfaces and Adapters.. So I know very good, that Java is not the right Tool for it, but at least 15 other languages which I made it with, also not.. so xD I don't argue there is no worse one.

Trollface :D :D :D Thanks, for the laugh and happy April fools day :)

Now do another video explaining the features that appeared in C# first and later copied in Java and that make C# better.

Three qutotes can replaced with one backtick and you can use string interoplation with it, and with the enum you can do better too...

Almost got me there foools❤

Nice one😂this is my fav part 2:48

Dammit, you actually got me. I forgot the date. you win.

c# records and pattern matching are very similar (copied) to f#, does f# copied from java??

This video made me want to write async void methods 😂😂

Does Java have type safe function pointers yet

I'm trying to switch from c# to java, and I have to be honest, there are somethings in java that bother me a lot. I'm aware that most of it comes from the fact that I have been using c# for the last 12 years and I got used to do things in c# way, besides that fact that the languages resemble but they are not equal. One thing that a really miss on java are the class properties, and among the things that a really don't like are those classes with too much constrution parameter.

I was waiting for the twist 😂

Reading the comments is funny. It's April Fool's Day folks (for those watching at a later date.) The sarcasm was dripping!

Excellent.

How is Java dealing with SDK-style project templates? I'm curious to see how todo Java in VS Code since Visual Studio doesn't support Java

On a serious note, java does allow static methods on enums 👀 is that syntax sugar or..?

with c# u get azure that u dont get anything like that in java ?

Legit helpful funny video. Nice!

I wonder how Nick could be so serious in the video talking about Java 😂

3 things you showed are unironically better: exhaustive switch on enums without default arm, being able to use multiple statements inside switch expressions and you aren't forced to return a value.

Performances between Java and C# would be awesome

I have to say that the text block already existed in Python way before Java did.

Awesome 🎉

"The third of anything is the best - Disney on preludial"

I'm so glad I read some of the comments before commenting myself. 🙂

Bruh, I woke up and saw the video notification and thought did I wake up in different reality and timeline.😂

I code in both as well and what I like the most in Java is JPA + Hibernate. Its so much better and easier to learn then EF and Dapper.

Oh. It's that day of the year

O M G,...lmao. @ 2:49 mark.

Plot twist: Nick is a java developer really! Thanks for the content!

Nick you are brilliant, I have to switch to Java from c# in my role so I did a couple of advent of code and I hate it already, even just the lack of baked in linq equivalent. Still got a lot to learn and I’m sure there are 3rd party libraries that mimic linq but urgh

I watched this video in the morning and I was confused. It all makes sense now of course

I'm switching to Java now thank you Nick

Love this!🤣

You forgot to mention, the very first feature that Java get first was called "Java", It was named later as "C#" in C#. 🙂

Seeing laid out like this really makes it feel like Java devs are beta-testers for features for C# devs.

If you're not paying attention, you'll miss the point of the video. I actually had to watch the video again to be sure, so great job Nick.

😂 the grin after FALSE on == in java

He started writing the equals method with a capital letter at 2:21. It looks suspicious🤔🤔🤔

Dangerous content, but I enjoyed it

Can someone explain to me why C# warns about coverage in switch expressions when you have an enum and you have every enum value covered. Like why does it want you to put a default case when there isn't a value you haven't accounted for?

Seems like you showed that c# implements record better.

I decided to switch to Java, but I got this error: the switch expression does not cover all possible input values 😢

no shade was left undrown

🤣 That was hilarious, I loved that sarcasm

That is all confusing I'll wait April 2nd to watch it again...

I admire your ability to keep a straight face describing all these "features" 😂

We need more coffee content

You troll 😂 I was close to unsubscribe

Genius! :D

Do a video on configureAwait

Wait what? Oh it’s April 1st 😁

The fact that you can escape characters in Java text blocks makes it pretty useless.

The rules for having multiple records in a file are the same as in the classes, interfaces, and enums. Only one of them should be public record and it should be the file name.

maybe you can also investigate and report on the superiority of GW-BASIC??

I'd love you to make a video about the impact this video if any analytics is available, people are often religious about programming langauges.

You'll love it when you upgrade to some functional languages ;)

Not a single person in the entire planet would be trying to write """ into a java block string and say "Huh, i guess if i add a fourth quote i will all magically work" lol. Like, i do think it is a kinda clever solution from C#. But it is definitely not the "Logical intuitive thing" someone would try in that situation
