This is hn, where unless something is written in rust or zig usually, people will hate on it. They would rather pump a cli tool than any software of sizable scale.

I love Rust. I love Haskell even more. I’m a big fan of Scheme. But anyone who “hates” on Java is just revealing a lack of understanding of what’s important in professional software development.

Java is a bad language for this compared to go? Is this legitimate advice on a serious programming blog. Pretty unbelievable honestly.

Wasteful? It's for entertainment on YouTube...what a nonsense take.

Maybe read to the end of the comment.

Not surviving more than 2 weeks in a QF role because of kdb, and then suggesting they should rewrite everything to LISP is one of the more HN level recidivous comments I think I have ever seen.

My Audi from 2018 has car play for free... this is absurd....

Anyone know if there's a good way to allow vial / qmk like customizations with a mac keyboard? I use things like auto shift on my custom splits, but would like to have some similar features on my mac keyboard.

Agreed. On a vial qmk build it was impossible. When remoting into work for citrix it also seemed to be considerably worse.

From the crappy bolt on things required to make it anywhere close to a decent IDE, it is essentially vim with tons of incompatible plugins that continually conflict one and other.

Can you provide an example of a crappy bolt on or a set of incompatible plugins? I’ve not had that experience and I’ve used it for six or seven languages.

Calva and vim plugin. Anything that adds custom shortcuts.

its not quick haha.... clueless.

I find all these posts slamming java and suggesting to use all the either much smaller jvm languages or something like python / go / rust utterly hilarious. If you want to get paid the big bucks in a high col city, you are a java or c++ dev, simple as. Sure work on your smaller languages, more pay for the rest of us!
