In my opinion, C# would be better for this job. It is similar, but has many features that simplify the code, such as top level statements, LINQ, collection expressions and stuff like that. It’s also way more popular in game development and that’s what most teens are interested in
I seriously don’t get why Python is so popular for learners. Its a weird ass very isolated language syntactically. The libraries for it are great but still.
JavaScript sometimes can be weird as hell. That’s why I prefer Python. I don’t know, for me it seemed logical from the beginning. Java definitely ain’t better.
Many companies are migrating away from Java. Have you seen any big projects started in the last 5 years that use Java? I haven’t. Java is only used to either maintain existing stuff or to migrate away from even older shit like COBOL or Perl.
Yeah, I have seen plenty of big projects started in Java. Hell, I’ve written code for at least 10 of them. Just because you personally don’t see something happening, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Java is as popular as it gets, being in the top 3 languages used. It’s not going away and it is not being deprecated any time in the future.
Java is absolutely not dying… unfortunately. Billions of people depend on spaghetti code written by corporations every day. I think Java will be the next COBOL. It won’t die and it’s unfortunate.
Java… I started with Java myself when I was a teen. It’s not a good idea.
I think Java is still a good language for beginners. The tooling around it is really good and it catches lots of issues at compile time.
Ditto. Been a Java developer for over 10 years and the tool maturity more than makes up for its faults as a language.

I’d recommend Python or JavaScript to beginners. Also, Java is dying out right now.

Because it dared to change the shitty syntax of bad syntax languages so humans can actually read it.
def init(self):
“Java is dying” is what people who’ve never actually worked as a dev for a big company think.
You say legacy code?
The company I work at is currently replacing all of their legacy Java shit with Go
Okay, and this is relevant how? One company doing stupid shit doesn’t mean a language is dying - it’s the basis of enterprise basically everywhere

And way more aren’t. Especially among big market cap companies.

Java is a great language. Still one of the most used languages in the world. Ditto python
