Fun fact, I never been to sea side or another country and I'm over 20 :D
Nor did I fly, ski, glide, can't rly commend swimming either.
I went to a mountain once, a bit over 10 years ago though.

Welcome to the club! :D I'm turning 18 on April :D

I think I've seen snow once, when I was like 3 or 4 years old... Other than that, I don't know anything about snow...

Whats this sunshine everyone keeps going on about?

I keep hearing how warm it is in Belgrade during summer and I think if I were to go during summer (for my first holiday :3) I'd proberbly melt.

And it's a pretty terrible programming language as well.

Time to start saving and start exploring. And it is that easy. Unless if you have people to take care of.

Got to spend these millions on Education first.

Sunshine? Huh? I didn't understand :D

You missclicked my post? hehe

Java is great.

Why did we even learn c in school. Java is so damn easy.

Made a homemade pizza.
Cost me 4x the price of a regular pizza but I have leftover ingredients and it tastes 4x better than any comercial pizza.

Nobody would want to learn C if they started out with java and C is still used in everything. And going from C -> Java is super easy once you learn how to properly do OOP

this is what makes it a bad language?

look at the first one. 92% of android apps are written in Java. There are currently 1.4 billion devices running android right now

That does not in absolutely any way make it a good language. Just because something is well-known and widespread doesn't necessarily make it decent. Java in browsers is the most obnoxious thing to deal with. I'm looking forward to the day this crap finally dies.
Also, Android is developed (and written mostly in Java) by Google. Same people who are pushing it off of their Chrome.

Just because it isn't ideal in browsers makes it a bad language, it is really easy to write and you don't really have to deal with allocating and freeing memory. It also runs on any OS.

I know it's written by google. She was trying to say that something google was doing makes java a bad language, but runs on the largest mobile operating system.

I do not think android is mostly java, all of the apps and the UI are, but underneath all of that is C and C++.

I can relate to that... I was melting in L.A during the summer. I'm basically a polar bear, I love the cold. The weather there was torture Q_Q. I hope visiting the east coast in March will be a better experience weather wise, it seems a lot colder, which is nice.

The link wasn't a reason. lol
Just a display of how impractical it is these days.
Java has too many flaws for it not to be replaced by better languages; html5.

It isn't "ideal" is an understatement. And yeah, it's an easy to learn language, but going from Java to any other language is really difficult. Hell, even going from C to Java is a mind**** all in its own.

But I guess I shouldn't be posting these sorts of things on that subject, considering just how much heated debate there is about the language in the programming community. Some treat it like it's the holy grail, while others consider it an outdated POS. It's something that's really difficult to stay indifferent to for a large number of people (most either love it or hate it), so for that reason, I'm not going to comment on it further. Especially knowing how you like to get in discussions such as this.

If you don't work in the field, what could you use a programming language for? I only randomly learned JavaScript and made some text-based games with it. Should I bother learning something new? I don't like working with computers though.

Java is used much more than just in the web, I think you think it only is. The only downside to Java is it is slow, but it is portable to every OS without much reprogramming. I have not heard of anyone that hate java except for what it does on the web, and i've talked to google engineers that used it at work and computer scientists at national laboratories that used it daily. C is hard for anyone to understand because of pointers.

Radvo and I are both computer science students.
