Apple Reportedly Demands App Takedown Because Name Includes 'JavaScript,' Trademarked by Oracle Corp.Oracle finally targets Java non-payers – six years after plucking Sun.So it goes to reason that by the time Oracle acquired Sun MicroSystems in 2010 Google already had built up a substantial legacy Java code base that was too extensive to eliminate.īut it has a habit of getting into the headlines: You have to play inside the fence defined by C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript.Įven when looking at the Closure Library I couldn't shake the impression that it was designed to appeal to the Java developer mindset - but that is just my personal opinion. That said I'm aware that before Oracle got its mittens on Java it was one of the blessed four: I think it was a particularly uninspired effort of 2007+ programming language design. You mistake me for somebody who likes Go - I don't. It's still good to know multiple languages, and there relative strengths through. But to be fair at the moment it would not be my first choice. I can imagine some things on the backend, I did in the past with Java, can be done with Rust now. Some others mentioned already, probably no language will totally replace another language. And using Protobuf is possible, but not as smooth as with Go. But when you want to connect to databases, or when dealing with formats like Avro its not as smooth as Java. Even for random getting numbers you need a library. Compared to Java and Go the core language is tiny. The price to pay is that you need more time to program. Rust is nice when performamce is important, and when you want to reduce some categories of errors. Also don't forget all the tools around it's JVM runtime for performance / safety etc. With it's easily to hook on almost any database, and expose is as you want, even 'official' with GraphQL lately. Java is mostly great for it's vast ecosystem, and Spring Boot. But Go seems the best language for programs around networking, which don't need a lot of additional dependencies. I'm not very familiar with Go, so this might not be totally fair. This is not true, it's much fairer to say it's all 3 different beasts, with their own strengths, once you want more than hello world. “Technologies such as Rust and Go function the same way as Java but they are written in shorter code." Real world examples of switching to Rust (eg Discord switching certain services from Go to Rust) are specific to the use case, not just blanket 'rewrite all the things in Rust'. It's sort of the blog equivalent of making a technical decision without knowing any of the actual project constraints. Re the original article, talking about language replacement without talking about what the tool is being used for seems a little misguided. Java has a different approach, as far as I know. Both examples of Rust's preference for paying only for what you use and their specific approach to what is and is not included in the std library. Rust also doesn't supply async/await, but you can add Tokio or async-std and have that feature available if you need it. Rust doesn't supply garbage collection in std, but if you have a specific case where you need it there are crates like gc that implement a specific form of it. A utility method StringUtils.replace to replace multiple search strings simultaneously.It may be worth distinguishing between missing, which in context you seem to be using along the lines of 'not built in to the language or std library', and unavailable, which I would describe as a feature not being accessible at all when using the language in question.
