Hahah hey now..
James Gosling, I'm sure, is a nice guy.. I actually was on a plane with him when I moved to San Francisco.
It's not his fault someone wanted to put applets in the browser.
Exactly. Fucking Java bullshit.
Amen brotha. Client side java sucks.
wow you fucking idiots! you have no idea, I hope YOU get cancer!
Hilarious post!!! DEATH TO JAVA !!!!!!!
wtf is java????????
Pretty damn right! Go and burn in a garbage collector. Viva .net :-)
By the way, very cool background canvas!
Ok, so for those of us who are young and new to programming, what are we to make of this? Am I correct to conclude that client-side Java (applets) suck but server-side Java kicks ass? Or, am I to conclude that Java totally sucks.
I ask because I am at that point where I've learned what I need to know about HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP and am now ready to tackle some real languages (C, C++, Java, etc.), but I have to choose one to start with and I'm on the fence regarding C++ and Java.
I FRIGGIN' HATE JAVA LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!
HELL yea
Java is SHIT.
Java is horrible garbage of the worst variety. If I ever run into that knave Gosling I fully intend to club him to death with a checked exception.
I HAVE YET TO KNOW WHAT JAVA IS FOR OTHER THEN SHUTTING DOWN MY NETFLIX HALF WAY THRU THE MOVIE, ASKING FOR AN UPDATE!!!! YOUR A COLD PIRATE HOOKER JAVA… A REAL SEACOW BITCH
