Why Java Fails To Be Concise For Structured Data Computation
Java's verbosity vs SQL's conciseness: why Java struggles with structured data computation due to its type strictness, lack of intuitive Lambda syntax & inability to handle dynamic data structures.
For the same data calculation task, written in SQL or Java, the latter is often several times longer than the former. The long code is not only cumbersome to write, but also not conducive to understanding the overall business logic structure, and the algorithm and process are buried in the details. Why is Java so much longer than SQL? Let’s answer this question and introduce the concept of set orientation in programming languages. Firstly, it is about the computing ability of sets, which is easy to understand. Business logic often faces structured data, which typically appears in batches (in t...
