I guess for the most part its good to have "celebs" being bronies. Sorta getting the word around, might make more people interested in it etc. I still hate Notch and Minecraft though, a disgrace to the programming world, especially on the decision to write it in Java! Eugh! Silly, silly people >_>
What's wrong with Java? Easy to pick up and multi-platform. Granted, C is better to learn but I don't see much wrong with Java. This is genuine curiosity rather than a stark defence of Java, by the way. Even so, I'm not accepting an answer along the lines of "It was made by a man that doesn't have a decent beard".
Speed issues mainly, me and a mate did nearly the same thing a seed generating world with differing textures per square etc. in C++. worked so much faster. I just have more of a personal hatred towards the language. Kinda irrational, but I just hate it My beard wins all beard competitions!
I have a beard at 13 if we think beards make the Brony. In fact... i think most male Bronies do have a little bit of a beard... On topic Notch=Bronie Minecraft now= Dark Shine permanent!
Fair enoughski! I should probably swap to C# at some point. Might be slightly better long term wise. I'm only using Java currently because that's what I'm being taught in Uni.
I got taught c# in first year.A+ for me, then second year is Java + Assembly, with C/C++ around there somewhere.
so, I guess nopony really remembers the fact that in an earlier post in his tumblr, he admitted to wanting to become a brony, but didn't have the time to watch the actual show
Haha, that exactly describes me. I remember always wishing I could grow a beard since my friends were all beating me at it. Now, I can't bear to grow a beard out for too long, otherwise it annoys the crap out of me.
