I loved it when I was younger, but I had trouble recommending it more recently because its tone is adjacent to personally attacking people who like Java.


As I get older, I do tend to be more conciliatory, but I do think that even the people who like Java are perpetuating pain and struggle for others that will have to learn some lessons the hard way.

Correction: his tone is adjacent to personally attacking people who USE Java :P
