Language snobs be like
Java is too verbose, Assembly is best 🥴
Ok nobody actually wants to write Assembly, but that’s still what they sound like. Optimizing for number of characters you’d have to type if you used a text editor instead of an IDE, and dumb shit like that.
The Java hate is not about wanting to type fewer characters; it’s about FactoryFactory-type boilerplate nonsense adding conceptual bloat that obscures what the unit of code is actually trying to accomplish.
FactoryFactory classes are not something inherent to java, it’s just as likely with any OOP language. I’m assuming you refer to something like AbstractFactory Pattern.
Most boilerplate can be automatically added by IDEs, and doesn’t add any more congnative overhead than comments would. It’s basically comments that are statically validated by the compiler.
Assembly is absolutely doo doo fard because theirs so many variations because of different hardware or operating system and lots of people mix them up leading to struggle town for hours just for a simple hello world program for the specific version you have.
I tried to learn and settled on GAS since that had better examples of code I could find online
