Discussion on: Java In 2019 And Beyond

[Chris Redford]

Even the version in 2019 Java looks pretty convoluted to me. Now it's looking like Scala, which I'm also not a fan of.

Check out the version of this code in Go:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    a := []int{}
    for i := 1; i <= 10; i++ {
        a = append(a, i)
    }

    for _, num := range a {
        if num%2 == 0 {
            fmt.Println(num)
        }
    }
}

That's a full, executable program that I just wrote off the cuff in 30 seconds while looking at your blog code. I think it has both Java versions beat for striking the right balance of concision and clarity.
