On the Evils of Verbosity of Java and English
Steve’s latest rant is a fun read as usual. As far as I’ve gotten, he’s spent many pages and many innocent words explaining that Java inevitably leads to unreasonably large code bases, which must be avoided at all costs.
While I don’t disagree with his premise, it does occur to me that for Steve the English language is his Java. His use of English leads to unreasonably large articles that must be abridged at all costs. Someone please invent a linguistic Python for Steve to use in place of his current abuse of English.
It is a bit ironic, but he is right.
I really hate Java for this very reason. It is way too verbose. I used to dismiss these concerns, but as experience grows on you, you really come to appreciate smaller code bases.
