Tonight I am learning to do exception handling in Java. I do not like Java, although I am pretty sure that learning it is making me a better coder.
@mtomasulo I'm a total newb, and I've only used Python so far.
@TotallyArbitrary Oh, yeah, wow. That would be different. Java does have a lot to offer, though. Good luck!
@mtomasulo I could sort of get away with not really understanding object-oriented programming in Python. Java is fixing that issue for me.
@TotallyArbitrary There's a level on which OO is less popular now because of JavaScript and Python, but once it clicks for you, it is a really great way of thinking about and organizing your code.
@TotallyArbitrary Out of curiosity what languages do you usually code in? Does Java still do that thing where you have to declare what exceptions a method might throw?
