You have to see it as “root”-mode, it gives you the means to do stuff you need to do but cannot do otherwise. Most times it’s for workarounds for problems you can’t solve. If you use reflection you are fully responsible.

Of course you normally shouldn’t use it, in 10 years I used it maybe one or two times. It’s more of a last resort.

Java has reflection since version 1.1. It’s actually quite useful in situations and most popular frameworks use it. It depends on you if it turns into a footgun.

Anything, as long as it’s not a bunch of scripts which form a framework after you downloaded a terabyte of shady dependencies.

No, JS is for scripts, it should have never been a whole framework for a frontend. But we can’t get away from it now, because it’s the only thing we have for browsers.

I wish they would replace JavaScript with something that was made for what it’s used for. JavaScript should have died years ago.

They’ll eventually forget you exist while they’re busy making the future happen.

I highly doubt a bunch of discord kids are able to make anything happen.

IRC isn’t controlled by a single (shady) company

Discord separates and controls possibly useful information from the public internet. It’s one of the worst platforms to use.

Autobahn go br… “2 Stunden Stau auf der A8”

Le epic troll

Why does someone come up with java code for an in-game coffeeshop and then make an obvious mistake? Or is that on purpose and they are trolling?

Away from keyboard

Didn’t they teach you the history of WW2?

Why not just ifnot? Same count of characters but an o instead of a possibly problematic single quote.
