Funny story, friend and I were just talking last night about how Java 8 is still used everywhere.
Moving to Kotlin taught me to appreciate the underlying fundamentals in the JVM and the patterns present in Java.
I’d rather not use Java today, though. Kotlin is basically Java but with the best practices enabled by default and the bad parts made impossible at a language level.
I need to know more. What are the bad parts that are disabled? Which best parties are enabled at the language level?
null safety, to my understanding
For one thing, the file and class name must be the same. While it is good practice, making it mandatory requirement limits flexibility.
After using Rust, I struggle to find a use-case for Java.
We have Python for the bad programmers.
