Java, the coffee is better than the language.
A language that is meant to make writing code for multiple platforms easier, but even with Oracles implementation of Java which you would think should allow me to compile one on any platform and then take the compiled byte code and place it on another platform with technically the same jvm would work straight away. So Java folk tell me what is all the fuss about having a language that doesn't do what it says it should?
1. I have to recompile code on windows and then again on Linux if it involves more than "Hello world".
So why not just do it in c++?
Or better still Perl then true write once run anywhere language.
2. Memory leaks. So many Java programmer are under the impression this language can't have memory leaks.
Can we make a law that says those who think this should be band from writing software.
The number of times I've had a Java dev ask for jvm values to be increased makes me laugh. Sorry your code out.
3. Frameworks. A fancy word for bloatware. I have to include a massive library of crap to fill up memory that i only use two functions from.
Come on people, with all this processing power we have today our computer systems really could be thinking for themselves. They could certainly be writing better code.
If we can't have a language that can compile one and run everywhere then let's just go back to c++ and Perl which let's be honest are still the only two real languages.
Write one compile everywhere such as Java is a poor excuse for software development.
A rang from a Perl and C programmer and system admin who's seen far too much poor coding in Java and fed up with having to complete a language that should only need compiling once to run anywhere.
The end, I'm off for a cup of Java :-)
