Yeah - it's a bit non-intuitive you can change the value of a number. https://thedailywtf.com/articles/Disgruntled-Bomb-Java-Editi...
In Python 2 you could literally do True = False and of course in JavaScript undefined = "a string"

Your comment makes no sense to me, but I must grant that there is a lot of bad reporting about Valhalla and I’ve been following the mailing lists for well over 7 years now. Nothing, absolutely nothing about the design is a compromise that would detract from the project if it was for any other language. You could judge them for bringing “complexity to an easy topic” but it really is far from that and the idea of a val…
Classical object, object without identity, atomic value, and classical value are not simplifications that you’d want in other languages. Rust, Haskell, Python - none of them need or would benefit from any of this.

IMHO, the main reason why Spring is huge is because it has grown organically to encompass many of the business cases/issues that one may encounter in both depth and breadth. So the http framework supports almost everything you may ever need and there is integration with every database, middleware, infra like kubernetes. (One can debate about the quality of all the lesser used modules but the main modules are pretty o…
> or we needed integration with an unsupported database How difficult is/was it to add a custom integration?
At this point the work is typically more than you want a single team to maintain. Unfortunately, in many large enterprises it is just easier and more efficient to grab a bigger framework than trying to organise sharing the custom integration in the organisation.

java the language is amazing the problem with it is entirely cultural. why is `IStatusChangeEntityCreationManagerFactory` everywhere? and why are the frameworks so huge and all encompassing? i think batteries included rails-style frameworks are great, but when i wrote Java, it didn't feel like rails at all none of these are language problems
Show me where IStatusChangeEntityCreationManagerFactory is in the language. Or the standard libraries. Or anything like it

Today it is a great language with a runtime that is unequaled. For heavy duty business backend server load, it is the standard choice, and rightfully so. Do I love Spring? No. Do I prefer Typescript for my little side projects? Yes.
Fortunately, there are plenty of mature alternatives to Spring these days.

Spring isn’t the language or standard libraries.
I read that comment as "Show me where [long classnames] are in the language, standard library or ."
Spring is one of the biggest java libraries and quite widely used. I think it fits rather nicely, even if the example itself is fairly old.

Ok, it's possible that my bilingual ahh is misunderstanding the comment. Maybe we can try to come to an understanding?

Not for atomic writes, which is the important bit here. When dealing with concurrency the choice to make us will you allow tears when writing i.e. thread A writes aa and thread B writes bb. Will you allow the option of seeing ab or ba or only aa/bb. This is the thing that costs performance. Plus do you allow null which makes it harder too.
That being said, x86_64 has supported 128-bit atomic writes via cmpxchg16b for over a decade. Modern 64-bit ARM has several ways to do them as well. Probably still not widespread enough for OpenJDK to unconditionally assume it's supported, but I think we're getting there. (Is there "caniuse" for CPU features?)
