🫣 He Got Banned For Mentioning Other Programming Language

Life gives opportunities to make a lot of mistakes. But mentioning Kotlin in a Java group may cause a disaster

Imagine that. You devote your whole career to master programming and specifically one particular programming language.

You write books, are involved in development of that language, build stuff around it, share your knowledge and bam!

You’re banned from a group for programmers.

That’s what happened to Kevin Bourrillion, one of the most prominent persons in the Java community.

Kevin worked for Google for almost two decades, co-authored Java Google Style Guide, was a representative for the Valhalla project, founded Guava, just to name few of his acomplishments.

It’s however enought to state that Kevin Bourrillion is a significant contributor to the Java community.

Clap if you like the article so far!

Three days ago he shared a message he got from the moderators of the Java subreddit.

Subreddit is like a Facebook group in the old days. Each subreddit has its own subject, rules and moderators. Subreddits are hosted by the Reddit website, a social media like platform.
