question about Java
That most likely has to do with:
- no Java on Macs back then and for very long afterwards
- how mindboggingly slow Java has been for a while, and still was when it would have had that advantage. Slow to startup too.
- how the general concept of "unifying all OSes working the same with the same code" was not translating so well to a windowed application that would be expected to integrate with the desktop.
- how Java's provided look & feel was not looking so good, on Windows at least (and it was all that mattered to anyone back then)
- while I do like how Java's GUI programming model is well defined, it looks atrociously complicated, and objectively is compared to the other models that existed back then (and that weren't well-defined and had tons of theoretical opportunities for crashing bugs, when the reality is that such bugs were few.)
- they eventually accepted defeat and gave up. JavaFX, more recently, could be a new attempt. But nowadays if you want something that looks like JavaFX, you're more likely to want to run it in a browser or as a phone app.

question about Java
Nah, Java is older than that. Back then, javascript was extremely limited, css barely existed and webpages could not do much interaction without reloading pages.
Java applets actually was a way to make webpages more powerful, but with the web not so well developed, they were not able to interact with data you're truly interested in, and webpages could simply not replace running programs on your computer. And Java applets were quickly enough replaced with Flash applets.

What are the initial values of the primitives that are encapsulated in an object?
Same for static variables.
As for local variables, they don't have an initial value. They can't be read before they're assigned a value.

Unfortunately. But fundamentally, people who can't do that, also can't produce something with a programming language anyway

No, he did like me, assume people are smart and they wouldn't ask minecraft questions without saying it's about minecraft. His answer has nothing to do with minecraft

No, but you could have started to ask here, while nonidiotically mentioning that you're asking about minecraft.
Also, it might be harder than just "changing fonts" in which case I wouldn't know that and the people who understand this technology would be unable to bear with you and how you say nothing useful

I literally can't as I don't make minecraft plugins.
And I would never have gotten involved, if you had done your job to specify this is specific to minecraft

And quite frankly, making things with a programming language require to understand a bunch of things. Normally someone who can do that kind of stuff would not need me to explain such an obvious thing. I think you need to progress

The point was to get you to admit you're not making a program, you're trying to make a Minecraft plugin.
