Java sucks... But seriously

i found it harder to build a splash screen than a multi client chat server in java, what in the bloody hell.

How would you make a single client chat server? o_o

Ah, yeah I always use ArrayList and I've never used arrays of generic types

I don't know about Java (never learned it), however would assume it may be the same as C# for this. In C# ArrayList causes boxing/unboxing which is much slower then using List<T> generic. So even for a list of integers you should never use ArrayList, and use List<int> list = new List<int>(); instead.

@Oria there are no integers involved with the OPer's code ;)

That was just an example, just saying that List<T> is faster than Arraylist.

In Java, ArrayList<T> implements List<T>, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

In C# they are two different things and one causes Boxing/unboxing for each thing you add. While the other does not.

Edit;
Reading over this thread though, makes me glad I learned C# instead of Java.

@Oria :(

oh why do i need a panel? why do i need a frame? when i have a perfectly good window, who thought of all of this? not me, if I could design high level languages it would be easy you would just type in, 'give me some sort of funky ... program' and BAM, funky program.

I have to agree that C# is much better than Java, and I know both. That said, without Java there'd be no C#.

I'm a bit lost at what your trying to say... My preferred languages are C++, C# and Ruby. I don't like Java because I feel that C# gives me more. My statement above, in no way, says that I want a language that just does it for me. And if you think that is what C# is like, you are extremely mistaking.

I was venting, the language seems illogical to me.

Stop absorbing random bit of the language and start asking why certain things are the way they are. It'll start seeming a lot more logical but at the same time as tragic as a love story between old code and old developers.

???? can you explain, because your statement seems illogical to me. C# is a very logical language... I actually never heard of an illogical programming language though...

Time to spend 100s of hours making an illogical programming language. I'll be back here at the end of time...
