FaaS in Go with WASM, WASI and Rust

Everything that isn’t Java is top notch. JIT, GCs, debugging. It’s sad that Java the language sucked so bad for this long.

That is a matter of opinion, plenty of people like Java, the language.

Java today is a likable language. It was not expressive enough a few years ago which lead to major boilerplate copypasta and making do with abhorrent ’design patterns’ instead of well designed language features.

Plenty of people liked it then I agree, can’t really understand why, because the simplicity argument just moved the complexity into libraries.

Java was the Go of its time, specially when compared with the chaos of commercial C and C++ compilers.

Java predates ISO C++, and the UNIX world was a mess of K&R C, and half backed ISO C89.

Design patterns were invented for Smalltalk and C++, as much as people like to blame Java for them.
