gollark: I'm not sure if the resource waste is Java's fault so much as just bad code they haven't improved on.
gollark: <@288568024498438145> It's less horribly resource intensive and has a built in mods API.
gollark: Bedrock Edition is waaay better for that, but also wrecks moddability and has many other antifeatures.
gollark: It seems to be the case that Java Edition is just horribly technically unsound.
gollark: I mostly agree. Not sure whether it's just being used to Minecraft, not having any of the various available UI enhancement or whatever mods, or just it being badly designed, but it does seem worse somehow.
