Laziness. Why else?

Fits perfectly with typical capitalistic short sightedness.

AI fans would say “this is what the spec is for”.

An interesting take.

You get lots of things for free when targeting JVM bytecode. GCs, JITs, interop with one of the largest and most battle tested ecosystems.

That's because LLMs suck.

Hilarious that Claude was used to make it.

I've noticed this a lot in LLM generated Java. Since it doesn't know what can or can't be null it tends to wrap everything in Optional<T>. Super strong type systems are becoming even more important.

Ah the old “you’re holding it wrong” argument.

Absolutely naive if you think the capitalists will “deliver utopia”.

> Actually I'd prefer to deliver product 0.1x faster

Ideas being expensive was a good thing.

AI is dogshit. No skill. No taste.

LOL LaCk oF eXpErIeNcE. Bro all you have to do is open intellij and it will prompt you to install the correct version of Java.

No you don't. The process is exactly the same for Java.

Your knowledge is outdated. Go check again.

Virtual threads can do that too.

Imagine not realizing that was a joke.

The kernel and ntfs does not care about slash direction. Specific programs like dir might though and honestly if you're on windows just use powershell and avoid legacy cmd stuff.

Personally I would have immediately closed it. If you can’t write it, I can’t read it.

It'll be interesting long term to see where they go with Kotlin. WRT value classes they'll probably introduce something like @JvmValue like the did with @JvmRecord when data classes diverged from Java records.

Kotlin also has its own features that differ from the way the JVM or Java has decided to develop them. For example: coroutines vs virtual threads or Kotlin “value” classes and Java value classes. The semantics don’t match and Kotlin stops becoming simply a “better Java”.

Go is a terribly verbose language.

Idk I think it’s pretty good for the sheer fact that it takes away most arguments against maven. Almost ever argument is hurr durr xml bad.

Aren’t LLMs notorious for just making tests pass and not actually testing functionality?

> Like, why?

Because everyone, including this forum, is addicted to the instant gratification of LLMs. It’s pure hubris of thinking you can scan the output and it does what you think it does.

And for those that are allergic Maven 4 will offer alternative file types via extensions!

Sbt is by far the worst. It’s the bane of my existence.

I've had engineers connect claude to slack and have it send my team messages about issues they're facing with our api or documentation. People are massively addicted to LLMs.

Those are all rolled into rent too.
