JPlus - A fully Java-compatible superset language (github.com)

JPlus is fully compatible with Java, offering modern language features like null safety, boilerplate code generation and other modern language features to reduce developer burden and maximize productivity.

Notably, there is currently no ‘superset’ language that keeps Java syntax almost intact while extending the language with features like null checks at the language level. JPlus aims to fill this gap, providing a language that existing Java developers can naturally learn and adopt.

Is this your first time here?

Your account is brand new and you've already posted now three posts related to JPlus in this community in one day. Please tell me you're joking with this one.

This post is a GitHub link to the project. Cool, I love seeing new projects, especially when the goal is to make it harder to write buggy code.

The other post is an article that immediately links to the GitHub. The GitHub contains a link at the top to, what I can tell, the same exact article. Both the article and the GitHub README explain what JPlus is and how to use it.

Why is this two posts when they contain the same information and link to each other directly at the top?

First of all, thank you for your interest in the JPlus project. I also apologize if anything I said earlier came across as rude.

The point I think was misunderstood is that, while the content of the posts is similar, the links they contain are different. To clarify once again, the link in this post directs to the JPlus GitHub repository, whereas the link in the post you mentioned points to the JPlus blog on Hashnode. Please check again.

You're aware you can just link to all relevant pages in a single post, right? You can add links to your description.

programming.dev is a Lemmy instance, right? Then you should be able to use masked links via Markdown too. Like this: [text](link), it'll display as clickable text.

What the person you're arguing with is annoyed by is that you're making a new post for every page you think is relevant. When you should be making one post that says all you want to say and links to all the pages you want to link to.
