quantizr VS incubator-retired-wave

Yeah technology stacks have gotten completely out of hand over the decades. My current concoction is here:

Java+SpringBoot+Docker

I think I'm "doing it right", but like religions no one's is provably correct.

The younger kids are saying: "Meh, we'll just run NodeJS on the server, so we can ignore the J2EE mess the previous generation created since they're older and therefore dumber than us."

I'm also doing the same: Java+TypeScript.

If you create an account on Quanta reply back with your account name so I can find you.

FWIW, they donated the project to the Apache Foundation, so it's open source (albeit unmaintained).

FWIW iirc it was continued for some time by apache (https://incubator.apache.org/projects/wave.html) but is also discontinued now. (I hope thats the correct project, but I'm pretty sure).

> Setters and getters are only popular in Java EE/Spring based environments (and it can be easily useful).

I'd love to see stats on how common this stuff is amongst java programmers. I agree that modern java has lots of modern tools to write reasonable code - like closures and functional primitives. But its very normal amongst a lot of java programmers to never use that stuff. I believe you if you tell me your team uses a modern, nice subset of java. But believe me when I say lots of people out there don't.

I worked as a professional interviewer for a year or so recently and interviewed 400+ programming candidates. One of the tasks was a 30 minute coding challenge - using the candidate's own computer and preferred language. A huge percentage of the java programmers, even under explicit time pressure, wasted time adding needless junk (like getters and setters or extraneous, pointless classes) to their code. I think I only saw 1 or 2 java candidates use any of java's functional programming primitives (like map) to keep their code terse and clean.

Is that the fault of java, the language? I don't know. As I said in another comment I think the problem is cultural. I don't really have a problem with java-the-language. But a large part of java-the-community seems blissfully content with mediocrity. I took java off my resume years ago because I don't want that kind of coworker.

> How do you write code, are you copying something by typing?

I don't copy+paste because in the languages I use I don't need to. Thats what the compiler is for.

> I’m sorry to assume it, but I think you only know about java development from third-hand infos and it has nothing to do with reality.

Nope. Eg:
