I love UUID keys. Only drawback is they can be a bit difficult to share, but they solve so many other problems. Being able to generate them client-side makes batch inserting with dependencies easier, being globally unique means you can copy data between environments, never needing to “fix” a sequence again… So many up-sides.

OMG, are zines coming back?

Love it BTW…

JavaFX was removed from the main Java spec in Java 11. Even the Oracle Java distribution. It’s a separate project now and is pretty easy to include as as jar if needed. In fact there are non-Oracle builds of the JVM that do add it (there are Zulu builds that put it back in). Because Java is now GPL. Anyone can create a build and include what they want.

OpenJDK is the reference implementation now. Biggest differences I’ve seen are in the default list of trusted CAs.

You don’t even understand what they sued over. 🤣

Maybe you’re just a bit thick.

Do you see?? Do you see yet that you’re just now blindly defending a company that has been so anti-open source in its past? A company that has been found guilty of abusing a monopoly? Yet you’re defending them over another company that has also done terrible things??

You’re approach is so laughably black & white with no nuance that you can’t even see that I’m mocking it by attacking Microsoft with your same terrible logic.

Same with Microsoft. The company harvesting personal information to feed to an AI.

Do you always take sarcastic insults as threats?

when did Microsoft ever sue someone for using C#?

When has Oracle sued somebody for using OpenJDK?

Oh - sorry, Oracle offers a free “entitlement” to use the JVM when used with their software if it’s required. We don’t pay extra for the Oracle JVM.

Only if you fear reality?

Kotlin is becoming very popular.In like 10 years of Java development I ran into type erasure like once…

Project Valhalla should help with it though (when it finally lands). And kotlin/other jvm languages will benefit as well.

It’s not about functionality. When you’re paying for licensing and support you need to use supported versions of things. If you call up about an issue with the database and you’re running an unsupported os or Java version they hang up on you.

They could though! Microsoft has a long history of “embrace, extend, extinguish”!

You may be willing to put your company at risk because you trust Microsoft but I’m not going to.

This isn’t Java it’s the jvm. Other languages run on it as well.

.NET… You trust Microsoft over Oracle. Ridiculous.

It’s not a big deal. Java haters know very little about Java.

You didn’t seem to understand. Oracle only supports their own jvm when running their software that uses Java (e.g. weblogic).

Buddy I’d love to introduce you to reality some day.
