JS Developer :
var x = 2
x = "hello"

Java developer:
what the hell !!

Same goes for Python :P

One is a dynamic language
Other is a strongly type language

Whats the drama?

A friend of mine is a C++ programmer. He was so confused when he tried to get basic user input in Java.

@Noob im a java dev and c++'s streams just fuck me up big time

Typescript.

@tkglaser -_-

@RazorSh4rk yeah, well those two languages are different in so many things.
What my friend was confused about is that theres no "native" input command but the need to import a scanner class, instantiate it, open, receive valid input and then close it.

@Noob it's also possible via System.console().readLine(); and because it's Java, there are also 7 other ways, out of which 5 are deprecated and 3 are considered unsafe

C++ on the other hand has std::cin and std::getline, which both serve different purposes and are much more flexible

Java dev:
Object x = new Integer(2);
x = new String("hello");

does it make sense?

Haskell: what's a "var"?

@hoggchan you didn't get it.

but, Java dev:
int x = 2;
String y = "hello";

that would be enough at the very most of the time.

@lazyDev this guy @kaqqao gets me
