Do you like java? I hate it!

I removed it from my computer when I first installed XP.

[niknak19]

I don't mind

I don't exactly like it but I don't mind it on my computer

[sonu27]

Slows down my computer and I never go on java site anyway.

[Crispy]

Well, its a nice language to program in, so ya, I like it

[SiMoNsAyS]

i personally "like" it the same i like .net or any other programming language.

pros: easy programming; useful on the internet
cons: programs based on java take too much resources; security risk

[sonu27]

I don't mind .net but I haven't installed that.

[ripken204]

i like it and i also program it

and what do u mean u took it off the comp when u installed XP? XP doesnt include java in its install

So this leads me to ask:

Which XP release did you install? XP Gold, XP SP1, XP SP1a, or XP SP2?

If Gold or SP1 then you removed MS JVM which is nothing more than a bastardized Java implementation. If SP1a or SP2 then Java wasn't installed.

Of course, I assume you already know this but the difference between the two is important to note. You can't really compare MS JVM and SUN Java. It's like comparing Sweet Corn to Cattle Corn. One is edible by humans and tastes good while the other is edible to humans but tastes foul.

Personally I dislike normal programs written in Java however it has more than enough uses and positive points outside of that.

Java? Mmm.. coffee.

[matrix0978]

Its notbad i dont mind it. Im going to start programming using it. Is it a easy language to learn?

[ripken204]

at first no but like any language u get used to it, when u rly get into it with crazy codes like i am now is when it gets fun

[sonu27]

Beleive it or not, but I've installed java on my computer.

Just for limewire. LOL

[ripken204]

lol, but why did you respond to this thread?

[Nerwin]

i like it

[ColdFusion200]

i don't like it myself - sure its good for portability and web apps, but programs made in it are bulky and slow in some cases

much better to stick with c++ in my opinion

[aspenjim]

While on the topic... Would some of you programmers explain exactly what it does. I know of lotsa websites that need speedtest.dslreports.com for one and yahoo's games always need java..... But in intelligent terms, exactly what does it do????

thx

To each their own, but LimeWire *SUCKS*. Searches for everything you're not looking for, takes forever to start up and shut down...
Ahem, anyway, I don't like Java. I don't go anywhere that requires Java. Although, I had to install it today to test if I could do a loopback connection to my own PC with UltraVNC, which *RULES*. Once I found out it worked, I uninstalled the Java.

It's not my favorit but i don't mind it.

[sonu27]

OMG 14 on 14 will anyone break the dead-lock?

Both of you two are correct. I don't mind it but stay away from it. Not my fav. but its everywhere like phones becuase someone can't invent somfing that can do that smae things as java.
