The Java Ecosystem Is Broken

I disagree. I’m not saying Maven is perfect but I find the way it does builds and dependencies FAR preferable to what C++ or JS have.

Obviously we disagree on this and JavaScript (as I mentioned in the post), but wholeheartedly agree about c/c++. Trying to figure out how to share a C library, for example, is a huge mess.

So I will note I’ve never done a JavaScript server project. My experience is entirely related to building for the web.

However even if we exclude that I don’t like the way dependencies are handled. I much prefer Maven’s single repository instead of having a node_modules folder in every project.

I know a lot of people hate XML but it’s not that bad. And it was the popular thing in 2004, JSON and YAML were extremely new on didn’t have mindshare yet.
