Is Java A Language For Sissies ? What's your take ?

Here is an opinion from a techie that can't code for shyte.

Wherever there is java, there are moaning users. Its either slow, buggy or both. Then there is also the compatibility, stuff breaking with updates and the security risks if you don't update. Either java is horrible or all the developers are incompetent(unlikely).

It's a mess from an IT service delivery perspective where user experience and feedback determine your bonus.. Developers are shielded from all that so I can understand why it is so popular.

Blame idiots who think java is appropriate for writing desktop apps :)

Yes, it's a third party plugin with failed verification. Oracle Corporation does not build support for Swing into Netbeans, as it was dropped in favour of JavaFX two years ago. This is a stop gap measure at best, and not highly recommended for live products.

That being said, the Oracle Corporation does build a JavaFX GUI that is supported by Netbeans.

They cant seem to make up their mind on what GUI framework to use.
I remember back in the day when they canned AWT (Yes i know it was cr@p).

Maybe the challenger disaster wouldnt have happened if they had used a statically typed language?

We all have to move on ;-)

JavaFX is a great replacement, especially with css styling, decent component customisation and properties. It's still in it's infancy, let's hope it can make some headway.

JavaFX > Swing > AWT
 
Which language would you consider a "language" for sissies ?

CSS ? :)
