alt Hacker NewsI was a diehard java fanboy but using Rust in the last 5 years more and more I have to agree, but sadly huge Java corporate codebases keep my bills paid still, so I have to deal with it. It is what it is. Also agree the pipeline etc. they love all the waste of the compute in their pocket.

You mean like the waste of the compute in Rust compiler when compiling from source all the time, with the lenghty compilation times it has, multipled by every Rust user when starting a new project?

It sounds like you're not into Java. Perhaps consider switching languages to make room for people who are.

I hope AI will make automated translation of such legacy codebases into any favourite langauge possible in future. Fingers crossed.
I code on both and they are just for different purposes. E.g. I think it's madness to develop desktop apps in Rust.
Development velocity is way greater in Java.
