What a categorical opinion! Developers are writing code and are making
bugs, whatever the language they use. I am pretty sure I am able to
write buggy, bloated and hard to maintain with Haskell, Ada, Java or any
other language…
It is really easy to criticize the programming language instead of
reviewing the development methods.
The main problem of writing an ebuild for a Java application comes from
bad habits in the Java world: people are usually distributing all
libraries and the program in a big ball of mud. It is great for Windows
users or for users who do not use a real packages manager, but it needs
lot of work to have clean packages.
Regards,
JC
