Ok, I've noticed something.
>learned python and was pretty proficient in it, used it to reinvent my own online regression libraries in matlab using numpy matrices etc for muh RNNS
> learned C/C++ because I needed more power
>Fast forward 3 years now in college;

Why is memorizing the Java API and all of its retardation so hard?

I understand exactly what is going on and cringe about it
>that nasty ass allocation
>muh pass by value
etc
but have to remember a cuckton of the Java API just to function
>muh boiler plate
>everything that isn't a basic type has to be an object

Literally only thing that makes me REE, is the artificial difficulty imposed by the Java API and the fact people believe OOP=memorizing the Java API

>tfw Java Class trying to make itself a weedout class
>you can code in various API (and soon Vulkan when I get the chance)
I'm understanding where codemonkeys come from now.
The real question; why the fuck is it hard for someone to memorize the standard library of a programming language and its functionality when it is supposed to be "higher level"; although technically more complex.

Why cant there at least be a C++11 course offered in schools and why is it so hard to translate to java.
I mean, you don't have to use pointers, even raw for that matter
