I also think Java is shit, but if you manage to get a NullPointerException while writing a hello world program, maybe anon is just not cut out for computers?

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I always loved that Java has a NullPointerException but doesn't have the concept of pointers in the language (only references).
That is because they planed to add pointers and then gave up.
I can't tell if you are making a joke but I can believe it could happen if it's Java
I mean... they have them. And unsafe. You're just not supposed to use them
C# has NullReferenceException and it actually makes sense.
Java
Thats your first mistake bucko
If it took anon 30 minutes to write hello world in java, programming is not for anon.
Could be worse, could be programming Javascript (or Typescript).
I love javascript. Shit. Just. Works.
Even if you, the programmer, are a complete fucking moron, by god javascript will try to make your program run as long as possible.

My old boss is one of the 3 initial creators of Java. He ran our department the same way this greentext reads.
He was also a paedo. You can figure out the rest if you dig.
Known for : the Java programming language, internet sex crime and the fantasy defense.

Am I weird for liking Java? I feel like it just makes so much more sense than other languages.
C# is nearly the same, but much, much better.
- It doesn't (usually) come with the Java culture 8 layers of abstraction. This isn't in the Java language. This isn't in OO. Yet nearly every Java programmer makes things way more complicated than it needs to be.
- It's a prettier language. Similar syntax with less bullshit.
- It's open source
- It's still multiplatform. Modern dotnet / C# works on anything.
- Both Visual Studio and Visual Studio code are great IDEs that blow Eclipse out of the water
- It's one of the most common business languages.
- It's going to be supported forever.
If I could restrict the world of programming to two languages, it'd be C# and Rust. C# for most things and Rust for a lower level language.

Can anyone who's actually dealt with Java tell me how much Anon is exaggerating?
I've worked on a corporate project with multiple Java services, anon isn't really exaggerating. Java can be a hell scape at times
They forgot to mention that production Java applications apparently need to log a certain minimum number of completely meaningless stacktraces per hour to work properly. Or at least I assume that is the case from the fact that all of them do that.

I'm pretty sure Java doesn't have pointers, so writing a hello world application isn't gonna fuck up nearly that hard.
The one thing he forgot though is that your source file is probably in the folder
com/companyname/net/classes/factory/factoryfactory/worker/lib/bin/refresh/jdk/model/ui/closebutton/press.java
And spread out among a bunch of other directories, and the java file is like...3 lines. But there are 10k files spread all around directories like this that are all 3 lines a piece with a class definition.
