I vaguely remember hearing this this was only really available for toy code and that this function created the class ignored the arguments and qualified println when you compiled it, so it wasn't actually that useful?

Printing to console is often only used for toy code anyway.

Wait, how do you debug your code?

[-] Traister101@lemmy.today 3 points 2 hours ago

A logger? Console prints are shitty in general but especially when you have an actual logger already

People in my experience are actually very serious about the standard out to debug log which is... baffling. Same people generally outright refuse to learn how to use a debugger in languages where those are pleasant
