For webservices do you use perl or python? Lately ive been creating restful apis with python+turbogears

The majority is written in .NET - I tend to use WCF/ASP.NET for web services. I've written a few in node recently to gain exposure to it but it's still fairly new to me :)

I'm not a fan of python. Call me petty but I'm not a fan of the syntax. I'll only use it for quick and dirty crap that I can't pull off easily in Powershell.

Dang I forgot .NET was even a thing. You sound deep into Microsoft land. I cannot relate.

Why does Java sucks? Are not Runescape and Minecraft written with it? And they were good games

RS engine is written with mostly Java, but all of the content they release is designed with RuneScript, which is basically the Runescape equivalent of GraalScript.

Java doesn't necessarily suck, and it all depends on personal preference but the point they are making is somebody who learns GraalScript is not wasting their time as it's still programming and you'll learn a lot of programming fundamentals from it which can be applied to most other languages.

Java sucks because i have to run multiple versions of jvm to get various apps running at work. I wish people would just decide that java is not a good idea and not develop on it.

I made a full server offline when I had no internet for a year for my sisters to play. I'd look up code snippets online at school and copy other peoples' stuff to learn GraalScript. That's how I got into developing on Graal. Something like that isn't really possible anymore.

With Java, and similar OOPLs, I like the strong typing. I don't like the forced verbosity that leads to a cluster**** of monolithic monstrosities because it's cheaper to add methods to an existing class than to create a new one that better fits the scope of the functionality.

In terms of Graal development, it's historically much more productive in the summer because that's when the kids all go on their school vacation and actually have time they can commit on developing for their favorite game. If there aren't many aspiring developers in the pipeline that are earlier in their academic careers, and I highly suspect this to be the case, that's very bad for Graal's present model of player-based development.
