He's stop writing Java because he thinks Java is inelegant. He write PHP instead.

Am I still on earth? 🤔

Php > java

Long Pause...

Did you check if he is drunk?

Damn I love PHP but that's right that the reason is totally stupide x)

@lxnx no, you're in programming hell

@ScribeOfGoD php got stream like api?

it's like stopping to stab your eyes because amputating your legs is more elegant.

PHP is interpreted. Java is compiled.
PHP is neat. Java is lazy.
PHP has support for all browsers. Java is deprecated in all browsers.

Maybe he is from parallel universe

@ScribeOfGoD you have no idea what Java is.

@ScribeOfGoD Wait java was in browsers once ? O.o

@lxnx I know it's a load of shit, that's the main point ;)

@SHA-256 yep, but now depreciated

@ScribeOfGoD you are making the mistake of confusing Java applets (which is indeed deprecated and rarely in use) and Java servers (like Tomcat, Jenkis, etc.) which are very much in use, maybe even more than PHP.

@bioDan even more than php? Nah lol

I haven't heard of anyone using Tomcat, other than Reload. And that's a local thing. And is much better when done in PHP.

And tbh, the UI for Java is pretty shite anyway

@ScribeOfGoD UI for Java? That doesn't make much sense.. Do you mean IDE?
I've seen Tomcat in production many times before, I also guess Jenkins is the best CI for TDD today (generally speaking).
So my point stands. Yes maybe even more than PHP (unless you count newbies writing hello world in PHP and incomplete/unfinished personal projects)

@ScribeOfGoD are you drunk too?
Anyway a lot of big companies rely on Java or .NET as the back-end. They use other languages for the front-end.
But if you want to make something pretty UI you won't use Java, the same way that you won't PHP either.

@ScribeOfGoD PHP supports all browsers and Java is deprecated? I haven't done much PHP, but isn't PHP server-side?

@sSam just ignore him. He don't even know the different between HTML and PHP.

@ScribeOfGoD Let me understand how can you say PHP is better UI than Java? Are you talking about HTML and CSS, right?

*rants how PHP is better than Java using trending buzz words*

*not sure how any of them work, how to properly use their technical terminology respectively or/and communicate their functionality and purpose*

P.s. - I was a PHP developer about 3 years ago

@Letmecode Nah. I think I'm good :)

@ScribeOfGoD No browser supports php. It's server-side only afaik. Otherwise, correct!

@bioDan @Letmecode @lxnx @sSam @JavaSlave Guys, guys, calm down.

Both languages are retarded, each in their very own special way.

@Jasey got the right idea, ++

Please apply water wherever needed

... they both have their uses? From a code aesthetic perspective I find OO PHP (if done right) very nice to look at. In Java, there's always method overloading and overriding which makes code less readable.
Though the naming inconsistencies in PHP creates the need for wrapper classes for most basic tasks if you want readability and consistency in large projects...

What I'm trying to say is that abstraction is key for both languages.
