It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's used everywhere in business so you're basically guaranteed to find a job if you're good with it, and vice versa, the hiring pool is big if you're a corporation. It's got a robust standard library. In the last few years it's picked up more and more useful features like lambdas and dynamic typing to cut down on boilerplate. It'll run on basically anything and you, the developer, don't need to worry about compiling to specific target platforms. It's also avoided a lot of the design-by-committee garbage that's turned C++ into a Venn diagram of feature incompatibility.
That said, package management in java kind of sucks. There's still plenty of boilerplate. The language is highly dependent on meta-programming annotations in many cases that hide code from you and obscure details. Exceptions are stupid and expensive.
