I also don’t understand why their algos cater nazi, racist and nationalist propaganda to young people. Being international corpos, they should be aware they are creating their own worst enemies. How will for example Chinese companies do business in EU, when they raised a xenophobic racist generation? Terrible plan.
No, Java has lots of merits. For example, once you know layout managers, you can have a resizable GUI app in no time. It’s the exact opposite of arranging things pixel by pixel. You just define “I want a grid of these buttons south and a big text field in the center” and Java will do the rest. I whip up apps like this for the silliest things, like noting which dungeon has what rotating boss this week in a game, so it’s more convinient than noting it in a text file.
