    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.
