This is a reupload/reedit: after posting the text version on Reddit, I've received several important corrections, and a new version of the video was in order. These corrections were so drastic, it changed the overall message from "Don't use Java for gamedev" to "It's not the best idea, but there might be legit reasons to use Java for gamedev"
It was really very interesting for me to watch this video, albeit using the translation of subtitles x) I already knew something, but you helped me understand everything much better, thanks. The only stupid question I have is: Why don't the developers of Minecraft hire more specialists to compensate for the optimization? X) Probably so many people say, but from your words (something like): "There are quite a lot of java specialists and there is a lot of competition among them." So I thought, why can't they hire these specialists as freelancers. Also, as far as I heard, in the field of server plugin developers (at least in the CIS countries) it is difficult to find a good java developer. (although perhaps the CIS Minecraft sevrera cannot provide a normal job and not many people want to work in the conditions that they offer). Just my thoughts and conjectures. I'm not a java developer or anything, I just love it. And yes, JS spoiled me a lot, now it's hard to remember that combining two variables of different types is not a good idea xD
My dialogue with a Minecraft server employers typically goes like that: -What salary do you want? -X USD (around average for a Russian programmer) -But we're just a Minecraft server, we can offer only 20% of X. Giving this, only a rare veteran programmer will accept this offer, leaving this underpaid space for the newcomers.
Lwjgl isn't a game engine, it's a library containing bindings for OpenGl, Vulkan and other APIs. So lwjgl is basically Opengl or Vulkan but accessible in the Java Programming Language
