Java
Is it worth learning? I feel like nothing good will come of it.... Also i H8 Eclipse, any other IDE's for Java that are good?
It all depends what you want to do with it.
In my opinion Java is a good and functional coding system but it is slow and resource hogging. From my knowledge it's a bit like C# style with a few different things. My friend is a Java coder and he constantly tells me that he wished he learned a different language.

Yeah java sucks when it comes to efficiency... But idk i think it would be OK to learn it... But i have no idea what i would ever use it for...

Anyone got ideas on what to use java for?
Meh I know someone who did java for a few years and they said it was shit. I do Java at uni and I agree, it is shit. The cross platform support is kinda nice but I wouldn't be caught dead using a mac or anything so really I don't give a shit. I think I'm just inclined to hate it because I have such a crap professor and the course sucks major weiner.

Maybe i'll leave Java for college... Also if i were ever to write a cross platform program, it would be in C++ not Java...

Either code only in a console and use no OS dependent things, or use a multiplatform API, which at it's heart all have layers of abstraction(i think they are called). So on windows there is an abstraction layer of Win32 and linux and mac are their own crap
Yeah cross platform doesn't really interest me, I prefer the specialization that comes with a single OS language.
My friend made a java program that was supposed to open some text documents and combine. Them and he wrote one line of code wrong and it overloaded his PC and got a BSOD.

Bugs and coding errors happen in all languages.

Once i wrote a program in java that was supposed to open text documents and combine them, and i wrote one line of code wrong and it overloadedededededed my computorz and i BSOD'd
I tried recreating it in C# and the debugger stopped it before it happend
really you did the same thing as my friend omg

It's a extremely useful language.
But I don't suggest using at as your only language. But seeing it's not for you, I say go ahead and try it.
