If it's ubiquitous and running mission critical stuff like payroll systems, then perhaps.

It's COBOL all the way down.

>>54914041
Java will never be ran by government databases, no

>>54914041
COBOL is still used. Java will never replace it.

>>54914041
how can language that is so simple have so many books??

>>54916011
how can a game as simple as chess have so many different possible states?

>>54916020
Chess has exactly 2 states.

>>54916035
explains why computers are so damn good at it then

>>54916011
Java is not simple at all.
It encourages all kinds on needless complexity.

The company I work for is actually in the process of phasing out their COBOL (and have been for almost 20 years...), but like >>54914339 said, COBOL runs mission critical things that are basically impossible to replace because it means downtime.
I've been rewriting non-essential programs in Java for the last few years, and we're almost entirely off of COBOL now.

java is so dogshit

java

public class Pet {
    private PetName name;
    private Person owner;

    public Pet(PetName name, Person owner) {
        this.name = name;
        this.owner = owner;
    }

    public PetName getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(PetName name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public Person getOwner() {
        return owner;
    }

    public void setOwner(Person owner) {
        this.owner = owner;
    }
}

scala

class Pet(var name: PetName, var owner: Person)

both JVM

Every decent IDE can build setters and getters. Only a moron would type that out.

>>54917723

>Getters and Setters
>OOP
Cargo-cult programming at its worst.

>>54917756
GET ready Get SET. OOP!

I'm sorry.

>>54917668

struct Pet {
        PetName name;
        Person owner;
}

OOP is a disgrace

>>54917668
What if I want to verify my input?

>>54918873
not as big a disgrace as you are to your parents though.

>>54920850
>this is pajeet
>hello

>>54920889
your parents are talking about how to get you out of the house right now.

>>54917756
You add getters and setters for all attributes just with POJOs. I always thought it was a better idea to just make attributes public because in 99.999% of the cases you are not going to add extra checks in getters + setters for them.
But then again, some ORM frameworks require you to do this.

Hell, when it comes to ORM I just generate POJOs from a given schema. No way in hell am I going to write 50 objects with 20 attributes for all tables in a SQL database.

>>54916035
For each arrangement of pieces on the board you have one state.
Some quick look at google told me there are 1.58e55 different possible states in chess.

>>54920772
I had one of these back when I pentium 166mhz pc. so fucking boss.

>>54920813
Have fun wrestling against the type system!
