OpenJDK Bug Report Complains Source Code 'Has Too Many Swear Words' (java.net)

Thursday a bug report complained that the source code for OpenJDK, the free and open-source implementation of Java, "has too many swear words." An anonymous reader writes: "There are many instances of swear words inside OpenJDK jdk/jdk source, scattered all over the place," reads the bug report. "As OpenJDK is used in a professional context, it seems inappropriate to leave these 12 instances in there, so here's a changeset to remove them."
IBM software developer (and OpenJDK team member and contributor) Adam Farley responded that "after discussion with the community, three determinations were reached":

• "Damn" and "Crap" are not swear words.

• Three of the four f-bombs are located in jszip.js, which should be corrected upstream (will follow up).

• The f-bomb in BitArray.java, as well as the rude typo in SoftChannel.java, *are* swear words and should be removed to resolve this work item.

He promised a new webrev would be uploaded to reflect these determinations, and the bug has been marked as "resolved."

Naa, the SJW scum think form is much, much more important than function. Pretty much the definition of fundamental incompetence in any tech field.

I'd think that maybe they could devote their debugging efforts to more annoying bugs...

Or you know, just stop making Java, it's well beyond the point of being shit at this point. But I guess that's how it works, something gets associated with being shit, has words describing it as shit, then seeks to outlaw the words describing it rather than change itself.
