  • I really want to love the “everything is an object” of power shell but I just have zero uses for using a shell on windows. Granted, my windows usage is like 15 minutes a week most of the time, but still. I also can’t be bothered to use it for work because it’s exclusively Linux/linux-ish over there so it’s not worth bothering.

    Either way, I like the idea, can’t really justify figuring out the details.




  • As a frontend dev I think this is where I’m legally obligated to make the “java sucks” joke. So, there you go.

    On the opposite end, I still wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole because I despise that object oriented nonsense, but honestly pick a project you already know inside out. Something that YOU enjoy. Whether that’s some frontend shit, some script you use regularly, whatever. Then, rewrite that in java. You already know exactly how it should work, so all you need to focus on is the syntax, build system, libraries, etc.

    It’s my absolute favorite way to get started on writing things in a new language. Of course, I would never traumatize myself by doing it in Java, but the same principle applies even for those who enjoy self flaggelation.

    Ok, I think that’s my quota of “java bad” comments for the day.

    Now, for real, go rewrite something you’re already intimately familiar with in Java and thank me later.

    I’m gonna go screw with Haskell some more now. Have fun.
