For the past 14 years, the only time I really did any work with Java was a course in college. I don’t like Java because it’s corporate shit. Yeah Guy Steele and dozens of other giants whom I admire and suck cock off on a good day are the spec writers, and the original creators. But remember that it was initially a corporate language, and for this reason, it has ALWAYS been a darling to corporations. It is completely void of joy to do a libre project in Java. I know OpenJDK and several FLOSS implementations Java and JVM exist, for example Cocoa which is crated using Vmgen which I am currently using for an implementation of AWK. In fact I use OpenJDK myself as my primary Java implementation. But why is it that every pissant company has its own Java implementation (like IBM’s Jikes, and I have always promised myself not to touch anything IBM touches because it would be ‘unclean’ then, IBM being source of everything that is dirty in the world — no BIOS does not count).
Plus shit like Maven and Gradle leave nothing to the imagination. Java toolchain is just ‘eat shit and code, monkey!’. I am so glad I live faraway from the corporate world ,and the stench of Java.
Just popping in as an ibm employee to say: yes, accurate
Can you give me a job at IBM? I promise I’ll just suck the souls of children out, not adults. Here’s my portfilo -> https://github.com/Chubek. I am submitting my implementation of ASDL to GNU you know.
Lol I would if I could 😭 shit is dire.
A man of your talents would be wasted here anyway; IBM is not a technology company. It’s a financial engineering instrument with an old computer museum attached for historical reasons.
They seem to suffer from ‘propriety hell’. It’s what I call companies that made something that blew up, only in the ‘clone’ world. Then they started doing stupid shit like making everything propriety, instead of leaning into the open source market, and miserably failed. UNIX is an example of this. They patented Sys 7, and failed. IBM did the same shit with their PC. Now what was once ‘IBM’s PC’ is just ‘PC’. They could have just made everything open, and asked everyone to just mention their name. It took a long time for me to even realize IBM made ‘the PC’.
Like consider this, it took them SEVERAL years to open source Jikes, and they STILL haven’t done it fully yet — they began open sourcing it in the LATE 90s! Fuck man.
