John Carmack on Twitter: “My android quote is spreading out of context” (twitter.com/id_aa_carmack)

So much Java hate in the responses to this tweet. I wonder where it comes from. I work with Java on Android daily and while I concede that it is far from perfect I don't think it deserves such scorn. It is perfectly possible to be productive in Java ; on Android at least, especially if you boost it with libs such as Guava, Dagger, JodaTime, EventBus, ... I don't know the rest of the Java world pretty well but I suspect that extremely shitty corporate J2EE code is at least partially responsible for this bad reputation.


What was his quote?


"Brace yourself: Android setup and development really does suck. It’s no fun at all." [1]
