Java Junkies of the world unite!

Is green tea actually green?

I don't like coffee or tea. I have cup'a'soups and hot chocolate.

EDIT: Yeah, I thought this would be about the programming stuff too. I don't even know why 'Java' is in the title of this. Is there a coffee company in Java?

Exactly! Thanks to coffee, I have the ability to take exams without dying, and look sufficiently alive generally for people to not point and stare. *high fives* I'm totally a morning person. :shifty:

BoB, green tea is green! It's kind of...an olive green, the greener the stronger, I suppose. Delicious stuff. Especially cold. :love:

Isn't Java the stuff coffee is made from? Like...java beans or something like that. *unsure*

What can I say? It's like a little cup of life-energy whenever I drink it. I survive school because of it! :love:

Ditto. Except the school part. Change that to work...:D

I think coffee is made out of coffee beans.

I like coffee ice cream... mmmm. lol.

Yes, I adore coffee. 'Specially Starbucks coffee! After all, caffeine is the source of life itself.

Java typically refers to coffee and coffee shops for those of you who are confused.

I agree fully with the Starbucks opinion. ^_^

I love coffee :hyper:

I hate the VM, but garbage collection is pretty cool I guess.

It's really slow. At least as far as C/C++ memory management speed is concerned.

I agree Java is slow, but not for the reason you gave. The loss of a few CPU cycles is worth it for sane memory management (among other things). If you aren't writing an OS or device driver or something ridiculously CPU-intensive, you don't need C as far as I'm concerned. Being able to play with pointers isn't worth it when you're sitting around for weeks debugging segfaults and array bounds overflows and memory leaks.

Programming languages are meant for people to read. Straight binary is really really fast compared to C, but no human can understand it. Java takes forever to read and write, from my memory of using it in college, which is why I think it's slow. One too many NullInsaneRabidMonkeyBoundsExceptions, almost drove me out of my mind.

Java is an island in Indonesia. They grow coffee there, thus coffee is sometimes referred to as java. I don't drink the stuff, personally. I also think you should not be allowed to add sugar or cream or anything to coffee. Drink it black or not at all.

c-cc-cof-ff--coffee!!!:excited:

I'll agree that Java is a much safer language. However, I still stand by the fact that garbage collection is slow and takes a lot more than a few extra CPU cycles.
