A correction on Java

May 04th, 2008 | Category: Software

So I have a correction/confession on my prior comments about Java. I’m currently near the tail-end of my latest semester in college and two of my classes(one focuses on C++ and the other on Java) are pounding me down with homework at the moment.

So I have a confession, Java really isn’t that bad. On the contrary, it’s actually quite good in my opinion. What I meant by my statement is mostly because of my hatred of doing manual GUI’s in Java(I haven’t attempted them in C++). Ever since then I’ve found Visual Editor in Eclipse and the NetBeans GUI editor and both have been promising.

But as it were, more updates after I finish this->semester. This includes gaming stuffs, and more satire, projects, etc.

Also I hope I can ditch my full-time job for a part time at some point.

The REAL difference between C++ and Java

April 27th, 2008 | Category: Satires, Software

Some people argue about the difference between C++ and Java, well, I think I’ve finally figured it out.

With C++, the experience is ultimately rewarding. Sure you want to beat your head in with a slice of lemon, wrapped around a large gold brick(even though that’s considered enjoyable for some people); but in the end, it makes you feel like a king of computers. You finally shake off that last compiler error and finalize the debugging and you feel like all 1337 having done so, ever the more confident until you sit down for another session with it.

Java, by contrast, makes you feel like you’ve just been halfway through brain surgery and the surgeon went for lunch, so no all you’re left with is the janitor and a pair of rats, who have found their way to your brain after trying to flee from the janitor attempting to smash them. Even once you DO finish with the compiler(which is stupidly annoying), and take care of the few odd bugs(you WON’T be able to fix them all lest you risk more compiler errors) you feel like a couple of Ewoks are using your once shiny helmet as a musical drum.

Even so, I guess it’s possible to accomplish a lot with Java, still, doesn’t stop it from being annoying.
