I have written a lot of code that would benefit from primitive unsigned ints...and while it is a little more work to do it java's way, it's definitely not a horrid mess

    Eh, if you use the API, I just go up a size and use bitwise operators, the JIT is fast enough that it's usually not a problem. Definitely not 100x slower

    If you do C bitwise operations on big chunks of data (like encryption) Java is probably more than 1000 times slower 😁

    We're not comparing to C, we're comparing to a theoretical java that has primitive unsigned ints since that was your original complaint. Ofc C is faster, java is faster to write than C though. I write both, there are different tools for different jobs

    Funny, I thought the same about your comment. Your original complaint was that java lacks unsigned ints, given that's what you said, that's what I thought we were talking about

    You just sound like a java fanboi lol, cheers and goodbye 👋🏼
