OOP Is Not Great

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

After 5 years of programming I have come to the conclusion that usually OOP is not great. This may sound shocking considering that 2 out of 5 posts on this blog are me raving about C# and Java but I have been reformed.

Background

For around a year I was infatuated with C# and Java. Initially I got introduced to Java through making discord bots with JDA. It was great. Up until that point I was used to making bots with Python or C. Java was and still is pretty nice for bot development and I really enjoyed my time with it. Then later on I discovered C# and enjoyed it even more. The syntax was great, it was fast, had a whole bunch of IDE support, and had a whole bunch of stuff going for it. I especially liked it when interfacing with MongoDB with their library. My only real gripe with it was the .NET ecosystem. Being an enjoyer of linux the Windows-centric parts of C# really bothered me and I eventually just sulked back to Java.

C# is awesome

Over the past few weeks I have discovered the greatness of C#. Initially I thought that is was just a Microsofty Java clone, and while that is somewhat true, there is a lot of stuff in C# that makes me a lot happier than Java.

Tooling

The tooling for C# is superb. It makes Java look like a nightmare.

Rider

Rider is a dream to code in. In my opinion it is much better than Visual Studio (especially since it is cross-platform). It is smooth and the memory profiling abilities are a bit better than what is available in IDEA. Riders helpful language features help me to feel more confident in writing code.

Head Over Heels For Java

In the past month I have discovered the wonders of Java. After months of teetering on the edge I finally decided to dive right in. That is a choice that I will forever hold in high esteem.

Why I like Java

Write Once Run Anywhere

I know it’s been said a thousand times but it really is amazing. From the perspective of a dev that has mainly been developing in languages such as C, Rust, and Go it is nice to avoid the pain of compiling for every platform.
