I hate Java. I've literally spent the entire day chasing down an issue caused by a null pointer. How, in 2023, is this just accepted as normal?! I honestly find it quite depressing how much better software development tooling isn't given a chance because most devs are just too lazy or incapable of learning anything new. Companies that adopt better tooling eventually move away from it because it makes hiring and mergers much more difficult. So instead we're all stuck using tools that were garbage decades ago

@rlamacraft If you haven't already, check out C# 8. They built specific improvements for that very problem into the language itself.

And with .NET now fully moved over to core, it's now fully portable and cross-platform.

I'd continue, but this already sounds too much like an ad.
