Modern Java isn’t that bad, and with new developments like the graalvm and cloud native builds, or what they are called, the footprint of a modern Java app can be comparable to an golang app.

Modern Java kinda has the same image problem as modern PHP. Not saying is all great, but it sure has seen quite the improvements in the last years

But who decides that? If the person who requested it can do this, you only need a friend to abuse the system and give each other a few extra points.

Maybe a open point history could help with this and users moderate themselves with this.

Yeah that’s definitely a possibility. It’s really a tricky topic to build a review community. One could try other approaches like dedicated volunteer reviewers. But if you look at exorcism, that will become hard to manage for languages with huge demand.

A system where everyone also needs to review is definitely better. Especially since everyone also learns reading other peoples code.

True, it’s not a fleshed out idea haha. But starting with a few points would work.

Could actually be a cool in it self, wish I had time for something like that.

Would love something like this, but it’s very hard to get such a community working. Most of the time there will be way more people wanting a review of their code than people wanting to put in the work and review something.

Maybe some kind of point system could work. Like one needs to review at least two times before you can get your work reviewed.

Thanks for your answer.

It’s a 30 year old swiss army knife, and it shows.

There is a lot of improvementsn happening in the Java space , so that might change over the next years.

It’s better by every metric and it’s a lot easier to manage your infrastructure (just a single binary file with no file or environmental dependencies; it doesn’t get any more straightforward than that.)

With these new native builds you also get a single binary file as far as I know ( I’m still kinda new to Java) and much better startup times. So today Java might perform a little better in this comparison.

But I take it as a good chance for getting a chance to introduce go as a language.

Mostly intellij ultimate, and sometimes VSCode as jetbrains Vue Support is not as good as the official plugin for VSCode.

It’s really weird they don’t want to show type errors inside the template, but whatever.

Other than that, I try to integrate AI assistants into my workflow. Currently trying out Cody, which works good so far, but I think without the sourcegraph integration it can’t show it’s full potential. But 50k$ seems a little expensive for my company haha

Probably typescript, it makes me rather productive and nowadays you can use it for pretty much anything. Even if it’s more often than not the optimal solution, it gets the job done

Other than that I’m interested in checking out go and rust, but unfortunately family life + trying to bootstrap isn’t giving me much time outside my day job to toy with those.

Curious about the tests you made with java and go. Did you test classic JVM or the new native builds?

We are currently using mainly java with some node sprinkled in there, but I try to move some thinks we have from K8 pods into lambdas as it doesn’t make sense having it running 24/7. One of my coworkers often looked for a reason /place to introduce go. So might be helpful info for him haha.
