"If you’re not sure what you want to do, just do Java. It’s a shitty programming language that’s good at almost everything."
- I agree, 100%.
And here's a take that a lot of the folks will disagree, and categorically state that these both belong to two entirely different domains: "Rust, is the evolution of Java. Not Kotlin, not Scala, not clojure, but, Rust".
I hadn't thought about Rust that way before, but I think you might be on to something here. Rust and Java both lean heavily into keeping developers from doing anything dangerous with expressiveness and power being pretty far down the list of concerns.
I feel like Go has a similar role to Java. Although it's mercifully free of inheritance and the functional stuff they've bolted on.
Rust has a similar role to C++ but reads more like Python and Elixir's lovechild.
Yeah Go is a new Java essentially. Also arguably it's a much better alternative because of static linking and no JIT
The context dependency injection is so so so good. Once we switched over to json & Jax-rs, it made such a great simple direct backend. Good throughput. Just, a bit high memory.
