Most of the stuff said here refers to the old Java6 ecosystem and the usage of Sublime or VI to write code. With modern IDE support such as IntelliJ, and Spring Boot framework and the latest versions of Java (17 and 21) the speed of development is much faster. I worked with many languages, but Java still stands as the best language to create mission critical applications (banking, traffic control, medical software) because of its reliability.

I have quite the opposite impression. Java is fast to develop in. With IntelliJ and Spring Boot you can easily pump out solid microservices in no time. I think it's a misconception to think others are more quickly to develop in just because you can get Hello World running more quickly. Maybe the right way to put it is that Java has a higher overhead, but once your project reaches a certain complexity it pays off. I also use Kotlin and I'm really not sure if using Kotlin without knowing Java is even a viable path. Kotlin relies so heavily on the Java ecosystem that you're forced to read a lot of Java resources. Tbh I think Java's huge problem is its image. Hating on Java is a bandwagon that people jump on even if they have no clue.

A certain complexity? If you create microservices you are right. But of all webapplications world wide how many really reach that kind of complexity? And if you do reach that complexity I think Go is way better than Java (except that it's easier to find Java developers). To conclude: 80% is better of with PHP or Node. and for a little more reasons than the hello world app...

Nice joke, but Java doesn't need that horrible Spring-esque style. That's a problem of a particular framework amd techniques, not the language per se. Once you start writing Java like Groovy (or use Groovy as a 'better Java') then it can be lightweight and very rapid. See the Spark microservice framework (**not** Apache Spark) as a way to do it. The best thing about Java is its stability. 15 year old systems that are now huge still work with very small modification to update.

It is just not true. I work for a company that makes software for start-ups. And we develop mostly in Java. The AI stuff is developed in python, but the rest is basically Java. Java is an amazing language and ecosystem for making your startups. Firstly, every infrastructure system or service will give you Java support. All database systems, weather reporting systems, basically anything has a Java API. Java makes it effortless to enable extremely feature-rich support for IDE. The IDE will basically write all the verbose parts of it. But, the verbose part makes it easier to read other people's code. The code is more or less organized in a predictable manner, so reading other people's code is way easier. My personal favorite is the lack of arbitrary macros, which saves you from a lot of confusion (ye, sometimes a lack of a feature is a feature). The list goes on. The only businesses that do not use Java are the ones that value their technological coolness over utility.

I think the biggest issue with java today is that everything is a class in the language. OOP is good, but i think it should ne be the default. To me, the thing missing in Java are: - support functional programming because i am tired of seeing util classes everywhere - remove method overloading. It's overused and is a hell to debug - support for default value for parameters - last but not least, why in the duck, does it consume so much memory
@athirsonsilva3808 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for this video. I second much of what you said. I myself moved from JavaEE7 (11 year old Wildfly Application) to Go because my customer moves his architecture towards a Microfrontend/Microservice oriented one and during my years in that big Java project I found, that simplicity is, what really makes good software. So the coding patterns which are the most impportant ones for me are: KISS and YAGNI. And if one would characterize Go, these two patterns apply fully to Go. That said, there are languages for any kind of work (e.g.: embedded: C, System: Rust, GameDev: C++ and so on). And if I may add one thing when it comes to languages: companies don't search developers for a specific task, they search developers for a specific language. We as developers on the other hand say: choose the language best for solving a particular problem. These two approaches are not compatible with each other. And, sorry to say, most of the time, the companies win in this battle. On top of that, very often, we developers tend to solve all kinds of problems in our language of choice too instead of choosing the language for the problem 😉
@gigel008 12 күн бұрын
All these points were valid... 10 years ago. Java has moved well beyond the era of Struts, JBoss, EJBs. Nowadays, with Spring Boot you have a lot of goodies right out of the box: embedded web server, ORM coupled and ready to use, dependency injection - everything is already configured. And with a vast dependency repository like Maven you can do almost everything. There's rarely any xml manipulation or any extending of classes or implementation of interfaces happening now (except when it actually makes sense). And while I agree it's still pretty verbose - this actually helps a lot when reading someone else's code. Or even the code of your past self. :D

Is it verbose? Sure, the good thing is that learning other languages become that much easier once you have a good grasp of it. I would also consider the verbosity and coding speed a trivial issue with the advent of AI code completion tools. I personally prefer Kotlin to Java but I'm going the testing route and unfortunately Java is more widely used in the QA space so I will continue with Java and transition to Kotlin down the road since I plan on doing Android development later.

great video! For me, java needs to solve a couple of headache problems to stay updated on the market and at the same time not being a pain to work with it: - The confusion of what you need to install, it will bie easier to have an official installer for the jdk, just one, no 1000000 with different kinds of jdk ( azul jdk, open jdk, etc. etc. ). Sdkman kinds of solve this issue but is not enough - The problem of dealing with an ide just to create a project, you have maven gradle, along with all the complexity of both, and it still just too difficult to start a project without and IDE, just look at this mvn command to generate a project mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=ToolsQA -DartifactId=DemoMavenProject -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false. - Too many standars , too much annotations, no simple code to read in the mainstream frameworks, this kind of depends on the programmer taste but for mee is too much abstractions. Some positive things with the last releases - They added virtual threads - They added pattern matching for switch

Configuration "nightmare" - argh you think maven, but take a look at gradle or CDIs. Java records, new var, switch style statements. If you want "lightweight" framework, see quarkus (microprofile) which is very tiny subset of java ee (but no darn EJBs or whatever java ee thingy you think) and kubernetes native (especially with graalvm).

I still like Java Spring Boot for API work but recently found micro service architectures introduced new challenges. Reliability with continued changes in versioning and the splintering of open source support towards monetization left me frustrated with controlling and learning. Streaming and threading concepts crashed more systems and demanded more resources. Last week I started to learn Nest.js what they call the Angular of API. All script based which brings me back to things I did once in MEAN and MERN. Express existing in Nest.js. Will this language be more of a thing?

"..if you write some super-complex code where the logic is difficult to follow...." Having that problem now - there's a "superstar" contractor that knows every tiny nuance of the frameworks and languages that we use, and he uses them all - even if, arguably, older structures / features would be ok performance-wise. His code is frequently nearly-impossible to follow. I've been doing software for 40 years, and am completely up-to-date in my sphere. I remember a particular instance where THREE of us - total experience over 65 years - could not figure-out what the h**l the code was doing. We were there because it had a bug in it. The solution was to rewrite that section and fixed the bug. He came back-in a couple months later and removed our working fix, and replaced it with more incomprehensible stuff. Oh, and he doesn't comment anything except in the PR / commits, and frequently doesn't bother there, either.

if are interested in building a minimalistic service that has the advantage of a garbage collector based language, and that the deployable executable is a single binary with no shared libraries or other runtime dependencies to manage, then Go language is a compelling alternative to Java. Is more streamlined on multiple fronts but relatively easy to learn and master. If the indeterminacy of a garbage collector is a problem, then there's Rust.

Yes I thought the same thing when listening to Stef's comments. It really explains the direction of dotnet over the last 5 years with things like minimal APIs, top level (classless) programs, and Blazor.

Lightweight, easy to work with tech always wins in the end. For example, PHP, with all its faults in the early days (there was a lot!) it still ended up being the dominant server side programming language simply because it was really easy to get up and running with.

I have used a lot of languages and still keep returning to Java. I avoid Spring (too verbose), I use Vert.X. I avoid typical logging frameworks, I use TinyLog. Using recent Java versions you can have very readable and organized code. Java is mature and has a lot if things, but it can be very simple if you want. To me, "bloated" is to use some modern fullstack and frontend environments that got to an absurd level of unnecessary complexity. Programming languages are always victims of popularity contests and fanboys. If a language isn't hated enough, it means it is not taken seriously enough.

It's the simplicity of various annotation-based toolkits that slows down Java. Businesses don't want to hire a bunch of engineers to write stuff from scratch, and so they adopt libraries like Spring. You can still tease a lot of performance out of Java with the right mindset. One of those mindsets is to apply OO concepts judiciously rather than _only_.

while i personally don't like java (first had to deal with it in 1997) and avoid it where possible, i have to agree with all you said. newcomers should be aware that they'll find giant legacy enterprise codebases. while that can be the same if you go the .NET route, you'll much more likely find startups running .NET than java. so be prepared to work in a very slow moving conservative environment. but well, some people like that.

I would disagree that spring boot is 'light weight'. Vert.x is light-weight, and so are the Frameworks based on it or similar async libraries. Moral of the story - pedigree matters. All Frameworks that began life as 'enterprise' frameworks are going to be bloated. The ones that were developed in the cloud/IOT/fintech era are far better in every respect - including performance wise. For instance, take a look at the Lmax disruptor and all the libraries (including for the web) built around it. Brilliant engineering. The book 'Functional programming in Java' by manning is probably one of the best FP books out there (rivalling its scala equivalent).

With Spring-Boot its not that bad anymore. I have been working with Java-Portlets you can gain lots of complexity with it if you want. But if you leave it simple its ok. If you work with Spring boot its way less complex and easier to deploy. But still you are slower and you have more Time with configuration compared to php. Escepcially if you use Angular or Something with spring boot its way better than JSF and still faster development than JSP

Which is ironic considering it's startup adoption but you can see it in how quickly they are pushing updates. Not to mention the rise in big data has seen gains for Scala as a core language. To the point where even Spark was given pySpark.
