Screw Java.

Why though?

@Zaphod65 Just not enjoying working with it and I'm stuck with it :(

There's just so much backwards compatibility everywhere that I can't do simple things like declare an array of a generic type without declaring an array of Object, casting and getting a compiler warning about it :/

Pro tip: code in whatever​ fits you

@dontPanic Yeah I do when I can, work though :(

@Jamoyjamie
What do you mean 'declare an array of generic type'?

Then use the Collection API. Why would you use an array?

@linux-colonel As in if I had a class:
MyClass<T>
I can't define an array of it:
MyClass<Integer>[]

@Makenshi I'd like to but it's Swing that requires an array as a parameter... I managed to find another way in the end though.

@Jamoyjamie
Ahh gotcha. I assume you just did something like this instead?

public class MyIntegerClass extends MyClass<Integer>{}

MyIntegerClass[] arr = new MyIntegerClass[] {}

@linux-colonel Actually in the end I managed to use a different constructor which did a similar job to what I needed :) still frustrating though!

@JerreMuesli pekac?

Let the war begin :)

@Darkler
Probably meant PEBCAK.Problem exists between chair and keyboard.

C#?

@Jamoyjamie use guava. ImmutableList.of(...)

The only real reason to hate Java is that there is no easy way around garbage collection when you need it. Otherwise it's a great language and the JVM is a great platform. If you hate the boilerplate, use Kotlin.
