Roast Memes

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.
