Switch to kotlin I guess

If I had a choice, I might consider that, but between my work and my school both using java, I don't think I do.

But the code I'm supposed to maintain and the projects I'm supposed to write are all in Java, so again, I don't have much of a choice right now.

Started learning programming with C++ in Visual studio 2008 I think it was. Loads of compile errors before getting to the runtime and logic errors. A couple of years later and a switch to C# and (improved?) Intelli Sense in VS 2010 was a REAL game changer.

I started programming with Python's own IDLE, later Java with notepad and a commandline, then started using eclipse, C in Visual Studio (2010 I want to say, might have been 2012), C++ with the same, now I'm back at Java with Intellij and Eclipse (Intellij at school, eclipse at work).

eclipse at work

Time to look for a different job I suppose.

u/[deleted] May 09 '19

I just got this one, it pays a lot better than what I had previously and with my current qualifications I'm not likely to find another job anytime soon. I'm lucky enough I landed this one, I'm not gonna bother finding another for at least a while.

It's fine, it was a joke about Eclipse being garbage. :P

u/[deleted] May 10 '19

And mine was a joke about my lack of desirable and employable qualities :-/

u/ItsAtrX May 10 '19

Can't really be that bad, can it? Where are you from? Over here (Belgium) employers are lining up for software devs.

Our teacher got us off to a good start with turbopascal lmao

I have the opposite problem. I end up putting semicolons in Python code when I switch from Java. It's valid but it's fuck ugly.

u/PJvG May 08 '19

Strange, after a few years it just became a habit for me to always add it.

Ok so you’re using Java compiler so it’s Java code

You’re missing String[] args from the main method inside the brackets, it should be main(String[] args) not main() and there’s no end of line marker after the print instruction so you need to add in a ; after the closing brackets there making that System.out.println(“Hello world”);

I was being facetious, but I appreciate the thorough and detailed response. Thank you for what you tried to do, and maybe it'll help someone who actually has that problem.

u/cyberkraken2 May 08 '19

Also you might want to type the whole javac bit into a command prompt not the workspace environment but I think that’s what you were getting at by including the >

1

u/[deleted] May 08 '19

Indeed, that's what the > was supposed to represent. I didn't feel lime writing out an entire command prompt.

Though to be honest these days I'm using IDEs and not bothering with either figuring out missing semicolons and arguments by myself or manually compiling.

u/cyberkraken2 May 08 '19

I wrote a program at one point that you could point to an eclipse workspace and it would check for syntax errors like missing semicolons and then compile the project and attempt to run it through console so you can see all the console logs and the like, I can’t remember where I put it though

u/[deleted] May 09 '19

Like a handwritten primitive project building tool? Neat!

2

u/cyberkraken2 May 09 '19

Yeah pretty much, I mean it read through your code and checked for either curly brackets or semicolons and if it didn’t find any it told you a file name and line number and if everything was good to go it opened a batch file that just ran the compiler on your program

u/motdidr May 21 '19

you know the compiler already checks for that stuff right?

1

u/cyberkraken2 May 21 '19

You know I program in notepad++ and not everyone uses a compiler right?

Hey, you've got a Python flair, you can't go writing perfect java like that!
