Micronaut and Vert.X also work, and with Kotlin you unlock that ecosystem as well, for example Ktor. One could argue whether Spring is still a modern framework. It works very well, but there is a lot of “magic” and hard to understand annotations with Spring that make it harder to learn and debug than it could be.

Of course the reality in enterprise environments is that change is often very difficult and such changes are a hard sell when you already have millions of lines of Spring code.

But if you are not locked to Spring, there are better options. DI being build in is another negative to me. Spring does everything, and any project using it becomes a “Spring project”. Which robs you of any choice. If you use Ktor for example, it’s only a library, not a framework, and only does the web component. You choose your own DI library that works for you, you choose your own serialization, you choose your own persistence/database solutions, and you can replace Ktor with something else 3 years down the line, if needed, without touching any of the other parts if the project.

I use IntelliJ Idea. The free Community Edition is all you need.

And GUI is even easier and faster with Compose.

I thought I like Java until I tried Kotlin. It’s everything I liked about Java, but with everything wrong with it fixed.

And much of the confusion and frustration at “Java” is actually because of Spring, or the “enterprise” nonsense making everything unnecessarily complex. You can just… write Java without any of that.

You shouldn’t though, because Kotlin exists, which fixes everything that’s wrong with Java while still being 100% compatible, so even in legacy projects you can mix and match and write new code in Kotlin without needing to rewrite any of the existing Java.

I imagine if such a candidate won, the would forfeit their win by not attending the inauguration and not getting sworn in.

And how does that handle a candidate who is in prison, and how is it different?

I agree, but that has nothing to do with the release cadence.

No, not nice at all. I’m answering your question on why he doesn’t ban Israeli contributors, not deliberating on the niceness of anyone in particular.

All in all, the film makers had many things they could choose to make the effect look plausible, but they didn’t.

You could make an argument that there was some kind of huge spinning gyroscope reaction wheel system on that axis which projected the explosion that way.

But we all know there wasn’t.

@RemindMe @RemindMe@programming.dev 15 years, tell this guy he’s wrong

It was fine in Mr Robot.

I completely agree he was unprofessional about it and should have handled it better. It was his choice in how he communicated it, and I think he failed on that point. Having said that, it was not his choice to do it, and I’m sure he will undue it when it’s legally possible. Hopefully using better judgement on his choice of words then.

So you are advocating for slowing down the work on Android, or for keeping the pace the same but witholding the updates for longer before a release? Or something else?

Because he’s not making any political, moral, or personal decisions, and only follows the law he is forced to.

When the law forces him to sanction Israel, he will do so, and when the law stops forcing him to sanction Russia, he will stop doing so.

Usually uprooting your life and moving to another country implies a job change. At least that’s how I read the comment.

There is no translation, it’s just a hard to pronounce Polish surname.

grammar nazis have no relevance to this entire conversatior

Your replies to my comment are off topic then, because that’s what my talking about.

no one made a general argument about grammar nazis so far

I did, I said generally their motivation is not concern for trademarks. It was in fact my first comment here.
