Seriously who the hell decided this was a good idea? Everything about developing for this combo is like pulling teeth.

The Prajeets from Google. They frigging love Java.

Java was known for creating portable programs. Also they wanted to attract devs from other mobile devices (most used java).
Yeah clearly it was a terrible decision that had key then with zero market share and no apps. They should have programmed for symbian os for all the Nokia phones that were flying off the shelf in 2010.

You need a minimum level of performance. Especially at that time, there weren't many viable languages that they could have used. It was basically C++ or Java, neither of which is particularly pleasant to write code in.

C++ is worse

Literally the worst pain in the ass. I hate Java with fiery passion. If it wasn't for my uni, I'd NEVER learn butt-fucking java jesus fuckmothering christ. Even C# has more reasons to be studied.

I know this is just a shit post, but it's probably worth posting something worthwhile in this thread anyway, and to perhaps combat future shitposts on the same topic:
People far smarter than, and with a deeper understanding of software and server architecture, than you.
Same could be said about eBay, Amazon, LinkedIn, Twitter, NASA, Google, Raytheon, Boeing, and every other large tech company out there.
For anyone out there who thinks they "hate Java" and honestly believes statements like "everything about developing for this combo is like pulling teeth", I suggest that you really have a lot to learn about software development as a discipline.
There are lots of reasons to use Java, and lots of reasons why Java tends to be chosen by tech companies, from the biggest and most innovative, down to small start ups. You not knowing them is a failing of your education, not the technical expertise that led them to use Java.

Java is like objectively the easiest object oriented programming language. Try doing iOS with either Swift or Objective-C and you'll be shitting your pants even harder.

I'd say C# has a lot more ease of use features. I mean, they are both great, but c# is definitely easier to use.
why dont people like java
>>51992906
the primary reason isn't sun
but the primary reason should be sun

They probably were taught it at their education establishment, and since they hated programming generally, that taught them to hate java.
