If Java Was A Character On Community

Coming up on the end of our Java adventure! Battleship is fully functional, and while I’m sure 3-months-in-the-future-Nicole will be horrified by the code base, right-now-Nicole is moderately proud of (parts of?) it.

If programing languages were Community characters, Java would be Frankie Dart: pedantic and time consuming to interact with, but because of all the grief you end up knowing a lot about how everything’s going to work. Life is definitely less whimsical with Java — if Java was in charge of the Save Greendale Committee, it would definitely break up the speakeasy operating out of the back of the cafeteria and stop Abed from changing his clothes every few minutes to illustrate the passage of time. Java is sort of an awkward drag. But awkward drags exist for a reason, and just as Frankie’s eccentricities were what eventually endeared her to me, sometimes it’s kind of nice to know the compiler will yell at me every time something is ambiguous.
