Ask HN: Any alternative to Java (OOP) which has the same ecosystem?
I've professionally programmed in Java, Python, Haskell and JavaScript.
Of these, I've found Java to be easiest when dealing with large code bases ( > 100,000 LOC ). It is complied, has a strong type system, very good standard library, good & mature build systems, and excellent tooling with IDEs like IntelliJ.
However, I am not a fan to object oriented programming. I suppose I am looking for a C / Python / Haskell like language with the same ecosystem / popularity as Java.
I tried Go, but it looks like Go is built to programmed on internet connected devices only.
With Java, dependencies can even be downloaded and put as Jars.
