Interesting...

And I thought writing in ASM was bad

Java sucks

OR because they need to integrate it with some legacy bullshit that only works with Java. Like Minecraft!

Java isn't that bad. Javascript on the other hand...

Real people who hate the world and themselves use HolyC.

It’s funny ‘cos it’s true

I feel attacked...

(I wrote 1 program in Java because I couldn't find an equivalent library in Python.)

What about people that only program in batch/scratch (me)

the only possible valid reason is for minecraft mods

Yet I would still rather do that than write something for an Apple device.

Java wasn't that bad, I actually took two classes based on Java Programming.

I thought of another reason: MINECRAFT modding.

on a more serious note: i feel like this kind of proves my point, the only real reason to use java is if you want to deal with an existing codebase. I was moreso talking about writing java from scratch, point being that you probably won't do that.
but hey, the things written in java probably won't be rewritten anytime soon, so for better or for worse, java is a thing we have to deal with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(no, i will NOT mention bedrock edition, fuck you.)

Exactly, there's no debugging facility. and it's a very sensitive scripting language. (IMO)
