Java needs to DIE

Ok, as I write this I am working on an SAP Hybris shopping cart demo, and my CPU has been pegged at 100% for about 20 minutes. What is eating up my CPU for a minuscule demo running on my overpowered laptop is a java thread. Since I am only hosting about 10 products, and only I can see it, I am not entirely sure why this is happening, it is just the way Java does things in my experience.

All I did was change some JavaScript, CSS and add a class to an object. Meltdown.

Java is a relic from a bygone era that still seems to curse us with its mere existence. It is not efficient, it is not logical, it is not cheap, it is not even interesting to work on. Remember when Steve Jobs’ main gripe about Flash was power consumption? Well Java is so horrifically worse, I can’t understand why it is still here.

Whatever you are doing you need to have an EXTREMELY specific 12.23.84.4.325.435.32.qe.beta.tar.bin.gz.xyz version, and if you do not have that specific version, that is not available for download, you. can’t. do. shit.

Then there are the constant rebuilds, the reboots, import/export/pillowfort actions you gotta take when someone changes something ever so slightly.

Oracle ADF/Webcenter sites/portal powers the vast majority of US public utilities. I have worked on quite a few and I can tell you it is not a hack that will bring down the powergrid, but a failed compile.

I double down on my preference for .Net over ANY other dynamic language as well as my preference for it over things that pay my bills, like Angular. Imagine safely compiled (not on demand) code that does not shift responsibility to another device, one that is multi-threaded, and logical.

Sorry, it is late and I am pissed that I need to reboot now and in the process turn fans to point to my machine because Java shit the bed once again.

Like I should be surprised.
