It is pretty late for me. Sorry. And thank you for your patience. Repeating it three times helped.

It will be interesting to find out if the resulting binary is the same or not and what’s possible once it matured.

I am not in the mood to read a technical document, but I don’t think the resulting binary/byte code should be different between the two “hello world” programs. But then again, why not?

Without the preview feature enabled, it is not an optional part of the method signature. It specifically looks for a main(String[]) signature.

Ah ha! So that’s what’s going on here. They almost got it right. They had the potential to make a lot of the boilerplate optional or implicit under relevant circumstances, but instead the language has two explicit switchable modes.

Can I write a Java application in “preview feature”?

Main method is not public static

It must be somewhere under the hood. Otherwise, it wont be callable and it would require an instance of an object to call. Unless the object here is the Java environment?

No String[] args

They are just optional I’m sure, like C and C++. You still need them to read command line arguments.

All in all, these syntax improvements are welcome. I already moved on to Kotlin for Android development though.

so it still happens at a different point, in a different part of the world

Like in the Congo, Zimbabwe or now in Palestine?

The lesson will be repeated until it is learnt

Info Wars might actually become credible

It is possible to dislike both. For me SmallTalk-like languages are peak. Message passing for life!

My experience with Java over the last 2 decades or so. Shame Android gave it extra life, thankfully Kotlin exists now.

Microsoft spent billions acquiring Skype only for us to be left with Teams

You might have some luck running it using Wine or Crossover.

Maybe there’s money in starting a coffee exporting business to the US…

I finally created a Steam account when I realized I don’t need to get a PS Vita to play Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus. Steam has been getting quality games for years and I wasn’t paying attention.

Defending the economy when we all know our paychecks are shrinking relative to rising costs wasn’t a wise move by the Democrats. The Republicans didn’t offer any sane and sensible solutions, scapegoating immigrants is absurd, but they acknowledged that the economy isn’t doing well for a lot of people and that actually resonated with many.

The Democrats had 4 years to do something about it and didn’t. “Vote for us or else” is not a long term strategy, all it takes is losing one or two elections.

Imagine being an indigenous woman and hearing this.

Other countries are reporting different and positive results. I think this is the kind of thing that we will see the outcome of decades later. It will be interesting to see how much of the perceived negative impact is due to ingrained racism and xenophobia especially in the West.

The world will be split between countries that trade freely with China and countries that don’t.

This will be the test and control for whether trading with China is good or bad.

You don’t the Democrats bankrolling a genocide for a year and campaigning with the Cheneys had anything to do with it?

We are the only ones that can measure it though
