Kotlin Will Save You And Me Both

2 days ago 140.6K views 0 shares

Java out here acting like a precision weapon aimed directly at your codebase, ready to obliterate everything with NullPointerExceptions, verbose boilerplate, and that special kind of pain only checked exceptions can deliver. But then Kotlin swoops in like a cozy safety blanket, wrapping your code in null safety, extension functions, and data classes that don't require 47 lines of getters and setters. Your codebase goes from "under attack" to "chilling on a peaceful beach" real quick. It's basically Google's way of saying "yeah, we know Java hurts, here's some aspirin" when they made Kotlin the preferred language for Android. Your legacy Java code is still down there somewhere, but at least now it's protected.

Biblically Accurate Java Class

Enterprise Java developers looked upon the inheritance hierarchy and saw that it was deeply nested, and they said "it is good." Just like those biblically accurate angels with their infinite eyes and spinning wheels of fire, this Spring Boot controller class comes with an inheritance chain so long it could trace its ancestry back to the Big Bang. Seven layers of abstraction deep, implementing approximately 47 interfaces (give or take a dimension), because why have a simple REST controller when you can have ControllerEndpointHandlerMapping that inherits from classes with names longer than a CVS receipt? The "Aware" interfaces at the bottom are the cherry on top—your class needs to be aware of literally everything in the Spring ecosystem. ServletContextAware? Check. EmbeddedValueResolverAware? Obviously. At this point, the class is more aware than a meditation guru. This is what happens when you let enterprise architects cook without supervision.

So Markdown just casually went from "barely registering on the chart" to "I'm about to end Python's whole career" in like 2 years? Someone's clearly been feeding their README files steroids. The graph shows Markdown's popularity shooting up at a near-vertical angle around 2022, threatening to overtake every actual programming language on the chart. Plot twist: Markdown isn't even a programming language. It's a markup language. That's like saying Microsoft Word is competing with C++ because people write documentation in it. But hey, according to PYPL (PopularitY of Programming Language), apparently writing **bold text** and # headers now qualifies you as a software engineer. The real question: Did someone accidentally include every GitHub README, Stack Overflow post, and Discord message in their dataset? Because that's the only way this makes sense. Next year's chart will probably show HTML as the "hottest new programming language" with SQL making a surprise comeback as "the future of coding."

Ah yes, the classic floating-point precision nightmare strikes again! LeBron apparently set his user balance to exactly 100 dollars, but because he used a double (floating-point) instead of a proper decimal type for monetary values, the database now cheerfully displays $99.99999999999 instead of a clean $100. The facepalm is well-deserved. Rule #1 of financial applications: never use floating-point types for money! Binary floating-point can't accurately represent decimal fractions like 0.1, leading to these delightful rounding errors that'll have your accounting department hunting you down. Should've used BigDecimal, DECIMAL, or literally anything designed for exact decimal arithmetic. Even the GOAT isn't immune to the IEEE 754 curse. Stick to the fundamentals, King. 👑

Java devs writing exception handling be like: "Yeah I'll catch it. Or not. Whatever happens, happens." The try-catch block is basically a suggestion at this point. Error handling? More like error acknowledging. The code runs, something breaks, you catch it, shrug, and move on with your life. No recovery logic, no fallback, just vibes. At least the compiler's happy.

Java Vs Jython Or Python

Java Programming Python

The eternal triangle of programming language drama, except one side is literally just a hybrid nobody asked for. Java and Python are out here living their best lives with massive communities and endless job postings, while Jython is sitting in the corner like "remember me? I let you run Python on the JVM!" Jython is that awkward middle child trying to bridge Java and Python together, combining the "write once, debug everywhere" philosophy of Java with Python's syntax. The problem? It's stuck on Python 2.7 (yes, you read that right), making it about as relevant as a floppy disk drive in 2024. The real kicker is how everyone's fighting over Java vs Python while Jython is desperately waving its hands like "I'm both! Love me!" Spoiler alert: nobody does. When you want Java's performance, you use Java. When you want Python's simplicity, you use Python. When you want both? You probably just use microservices and call it a day.

Oracle's been flexing that "3 Billion Devices Run Java" slogan since 2009, and here we are a decade later... still 3 billion devices. Not 3.1 billion, not 4 billion—exactly 3 billion. Either Oracle's marketing team got really comfortable with that number, or Java's been running on the same devices for 10 years straight. Maybe those devices are just immortal? Or perhaps counting is hard when you're too busy suing Google over Android. The real kicker? In those 10 years, we went from flip phones to smartphones that can literally edit 4K video, but apparently Java's market share just... froze in time. It's like they found the perfect marketing tagline and decided "why fix what ain't broke?" Even if it's technically a lie at this point.

Java Devs... Just Admit It.... This Is Way Way Too Far

Java developers have this special talent for turning a simple problem into an architectural masterpiece nobody asked for. You need to create an order? Cool. But wait—what if we need an interface for flexibility? And obviously we need a factory to create those orders. But hold on, what if we need to create factories? Better make a factory factory . And naturally, that factory factory needs an interface too. Before you know it, you've got 47 files just to instantiate a single object. The best part? They'll defend this madness by saying it's "maintainable" and "testable" while the rest of us are shipping features. Enterprise Java turned abstraction into a competitive sport, and honestly, they're winning medals nobody wants. Meanwhile, Python devs are over here like: order = Order() and calling it a day.

The perfect relationship doesn't exi— wait, hold on. That green bar showing all 22307 tests passing with zero errors and zero warnings? That's the programming equivalent of finding true love. The tweet format perfectly captures that rare, beautiful moment when your entire test suite runs clean and your code compiles without a single complaint. No deprecation warnings, no flaky tests, no "this might be a problem later" yellow flags. Just pure, unadulterated success. The juxtaposition of the cynical tweet about relationships with the pristine test output is *chef's kiss* because honestly, getting a clean test run is way more satisfying than most human interactions anyway.

Junior devs just slapping public int x; everywhere and living their best life. Then someone introduces them to encapsulation and suddenly they're writing getters and setters like they just discovered fire. The fancy suit represents that false sense of sophistication you get from following OOP principles—until you realize you've written 20 lines of boilerplate just to access a single integer. You're now "professionally" doing what you used to do in one line, and deep down you're questioning every life choice that led you here. Sometimes the simple solution was fine. But now you're in too deep to go back. Welcome to enterprise development, where we make everything unnecessarily complicated and call it "best practices."

Is He Wrong Though

The "write once, run anywhere" crowd just got absolutely demolished. Sure, Java's cross-platform compatibility is technically impressive, but that's like being proud your code runs equally mediocre everywhere. The JVM being on Windows, Linux, and macOS doesn't make Java good —it just means everyone gets to suffer equally. Here's the thing: cross-platform compatibility is a feature, not a personality trait. JavaScript runs everywhere too, and we're not exactly throwing parades about it. The analogy here is brutally effective because it exposes the logical fallacy—universal compatibility doesn't equal quality. It just means you've achieved the bare minimum of not being platform-locked. Java developers will defend their language with religious fervor, but deep down they know they're just Stockholm syndrome victims of enterprise codebases written in 2003 that nobody dares to refactor.

Upwards Mobility

The corporate ladder speedrun: destroy a perfectly functioning system, make it objectively worse, get promoted, then bail before the dumpster fire you created becomes your problem. Peak software engineering right here. Dude took a Java service that ran flawlessly for 5 years and convinced management it needed a complete rewrite in Go with microservices because "modernization." The result? Slower performance, double the costs, and a memory leak that strikes at 2 AM like clockwork. But hey, that 20-page design doc had enough buzzwords to secure the L6 promotion. The best part? After getting the promo, they immediately transferred to a "chill Core Infra team" where they won't be on call for the disaster they created. Some poor new grad is now inheriting a $550k total comp nightmare. That's not upward mobility—that's a tactical extraction after carpet bombing production. Pro tip: If your promotion depends on creating "scope" and "complexity" instead of solving actual problems, you're not engineering—you're just resume-driven development with extra steps.
