This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I also think Java is shit, but if you manage to get a NullPointerException while writing a hello world program, maybe anon is just not cut out for computers?

I always loved that Java has a NullPointerException but doesn't have the concept of pointers in the language (only references).

That is because they planed to add pointers and then gave up.

I can't tell if you are making a joke but I can believe it could happen if it's Java

I mean... they have them. And unsafe. You're just not supposed to use them

C# has NullReferenceException and it actually makes sense.
