Java Is Better Than Rust

One area that Rust certainly beats Java in is the ratio of hype to lines of production code.

I don't like how Java is associated with pointless abstractions. That's the choice of the developer, not a requirement. The Java community might have a cultural problem in that regard, but it's not a valid argument against the language itself.

Hot take: The best programming language is the one that pays the bills.

Prime is just about as qualified to talk about the modern java build system as the article author is to speak about the rust one 😂

About complexity: I wrote a 3D game engine and physics engine in Rust using just raw Vulkan, as well as countless of complex algorithms (such as full body inverse kinematics). All of these things were very easy to do in Rust. I also wrote a web app (frontend) in Rust and it's the most complex piece of code that I've ever written. The amount of cases you need to handle when dealing with asynchronous behavior from the user, async loading of data, server-side-rendering, etc, it's mind blowing.

Prime when The composite walks in..

It's hard to watch language reviews now because it's all purpose driven. You can smell app dev, you can smell web dev, low level systems, you can smell frontend and backend. No pun intended. I picture 4 dogs on the sidewalk doing this. I'm not looking for one ring to bind them all. That war gets ridiculous.

there are 2 types of programming languages - the "good" ones - the ones that are used for 30 years and still in top 3

I'm not at all ashamed to say that I really enjoy coding in Java.
