One Year After Switching from Java to Go: Our Experiences

I’m yet to see a former Java developer who uses the idioms of the language they currently use. They all just write Java in a different language.

That is a function of the developer, not of the language, i.e. f(dev), not f(lang) ;)

Replace Java with star and that statement still holds true (for some people).

Hence the statement that you can write FORTRAN in any language.

wassup, eff of downvoter, can't handle de troot? :) :) :)

wonder if you read the article linked in my above comment before downvoting, and noted who it is by.

this is who it is by:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Atwood

, aka the co-founder of StackOverflow, a q&a site which you have probably used zillions of times, if you are a dev of any kind at all. He is also the cofounder of StackExchange.

>In June 2021, Prosus acquired Stack Overflow for $1.8 billion, its first complete acquisition in the area of educational technology.[11]

so he should know something about what he said, right? unlike you.

You ever achieved anything like that?

This isn’t anything special about Java. A determined programmer can write Fortran in any language.
