Java (programming language)

Pros

• I come from a computer science and marketing background, and never, while learning Java, did I want to give it up. Programming languages can be learned during happy hours
• I know I'm going to get hated but I think Java is good. For $500, you have quite a bit of options. it is more budget oriented, so don't expect it to come close to big brands.
• Java is pretty consistently hiring if you want to work in enterprise.
• Java, there is way more demand for it and more job opportunities. There are also so many huge companies that are Java based there will always be a demand for it.
• Honestly, the demand for Java is higher, and will probably continue being higher. There's also nothing you miss out by using a modern version of java, arguably only out of the box cold starts.

Cons

• people say java is the best career choice, but don’t tell you most jobs are maintaining crufty old code that looks like dog shit.. if you like untangling spaghetti , might be for you.
• Parent context: I wonder what would look better here, christmas moss/mini christmas moss or java... Reply: anything but java, lol
• Many finance sector applications use Java
• Java is historically obnoxiously verbose with lots of boilerplate and has a complicated ecosystem.
• I like Java I just don't like the Java way of doing things. It's not concise enough for me, too wordy.
