Java Vs. Node.Js: An Epic Battle For Developer Mind Share

In the history of computing, 1995 was a crazy time. First Java appeared, then close on its heels came JavaScript. The names made them seem like conjoined twins newly detached, but they couldn't be more different. One of them compiled and statically typed; the other interpreted and dynamically typed. That's only the beginning of the technical differences between these two wildly distinct languages that have since shifted onto a collision course of sorts, thanks to Node.js.

If you’re old enough to have been around back then, you might remember Java’s early, epic peak. It left the labs, and its hype meter pinned. Everyone saw it as a revolution that would stop at nothing less than a total takeover of computing. That prediction ended up being only partially correct. Today, Java dominates Android phones, enterprise computing, and some embedded worlds like Blu-ray disks.

In Defence of Java 8’s Optional: Why and How to Use It

The problem with null is not that it was invented back in 1965, but that we are still struggling with it 50 years later. Any Java developer has probably seen and written code like this:

String result = service.find("id");

String value;

if (result != null) {

    value = result.trim();

} else {

    value = "<absent>";

}

System.out.println("Value: " + value);

In fact, most Java monoglots have probably experienced code like this so many times, they don’t even see the problem anymore. And yet, with Java 8, they have to deal with a solution: the Optional type.
I recently came across this article on Voxxed: Embracing the Void: 6 Refined Tricks for Dealing with Nulls in Java. It gives a nice rundown of strategies around the null reference. Sadly, it discourages the use of Java 8’s Optional. In this post I will explain why and how you should use Optional…
