300,000 line increase from Ada to Java. Christ on the Cross Java--why is mediocrity such a verdant cancer

Why java?

LTR, Algol-on-bathsalts syntax and JVM make it hard for ISIS to write 0-days to deface their blogs
Jackson Lewis
write once, deploy everywhere.
And it's cheaper than ada.
Brayden Wilson
the new system is more complex. also this is one of the most retarded metrics you can use to measure software quality

Is worth learning ada for something?
>tfw still in a crush with a girl called Ada
Nicholas Long
but everything here points to a short timeline and an unskilled team, not noting complexity at all? they picked Java because it's for retards who need to be spoon fed. This is just proof that even the military has idiots calling the shots over their engineers.
Also, not even counting 'lines' of code I assure you the footprint of that Java code is indeed far more massive and cumbersome despite it's "mobility"
no, look at something Lisp-like, like Racket, Scheme, or even CL if you're looking for an old language to learn that isn't Algol-like

oh wow, you sound like an angry dotpajeet or hardcore c neet

okay, it's probably the latter

why lisp? gcc can compile ada and optimize it. secure and fast. what the newer languages have better to offer?

Ada will make you a better programmer because you will have access to better data structures and data types. For example, a record in Ada can contain variable-length arrays (contiguous storage, not pointers to arrays) and you can allocate it on the stack. You can't do that in C.
Lisp-like languages like Racket can't compete with Algol-like languages like Ada. Ada doesn't use a garbage collector and it's designed for systems programming and highly reliable software. They are made for different purposes.

I use VHDL, so it's kind of like Ada.

That. I don't care if it unpopular. It is more popular than young safe languages that lack a GC such as Rust, according to Tiobe index.

I can easily make fast secure web apps using a decent IDE, namely GPS. No shitty Android Studio or Eclipse.

i use it at work its okay
