PKnobs language infrastructure
POR EVEN COMMON LANGUAGE INFRASTRUCTURE
Lyou can do unsigned in java by just using JNI to call into a better language like C or C++
Lthen writing all your code in C/C++
Lthen removing java
Kewww don't remind me
KI once tried implementing like... encryption into java
Kthat involved unsigned bitshifting
Await java doesnt support unsigned?
PNope
Kand after like days of trying, turns out java don't like unsigned anything, not even bitshifting
Awhat
Lthe easiest way to do it in pure java iirc is to use the next biggest type, then emulate the smaller type using bitmasks
KI tried just using longs instead but yeah... when you work with encryption stuff and don't really have an entire college's worth of math knowledge
KIt becomes very impossible and very depressing
Lyea welcome to java]
Lyeah, theres 0 unsigned types in java i think aside from char?
KAnd the worst part was that the encryption was like... XTEA
K1000 years old and the most baby tier encryption stuff ever
Kand yet... nope
Athat is
an ouch
wtf
why
there is no logic in this

Lits simpler™
Ab r u h
K^ literally every single Q&A on the matter you find will say something along those lines
Lyup
Lthats the official stance
KYou don't need unsigned, you silly billy
Tdo you want even more logic?
KJust use a bigger type lol
Tdispatcher.register is generic, but literal could not infer it
Aand pretty soon you discover that almost no C developers actually understand what goes on with unsigned, what unsigned arithmetic is. Things like that made C complex. The language part of Java is, I think, pretty simple.
Aah yes the "the programmer is stupid" logic i see
Tabsolute clusterfuck of fake generics
Lunsigned arithmatic in C is a huge clusterfuck
but thats because arithmatic in C is a huge clusterfuck in general
but thats because arithmatic in C is a huge clusterfuck in general
Lrandom implicit type widening
Ayeah true
Lwidening when you really dont want it to
KAlso don't forget the factories
KAnd beans
KAnd beanfactories
KI wanted to contribute to a java open source project, but everything was just.... factories up down left right and center
Tbut the test mocking!
KCouldn't make sense of half the stuff because everything was factories piping into factories
Tthe worst part is how people port C to Java to C#
Tand instead of using any pointers and unsigned from C, they go OOP all over the place
TNVorbis is such a big offender
Kgods yeah
