Buck up and learn enough Java to write this basic program. It's really not a particularly complex or hard language.



(Sarcasm) You should “buck up” and learn Rust or C. With a real language you won’t have to deal with the overhead of a runtime and will really be able to saturate the resources.


I can and have written Rust, C, and indeed Ruby where warranted. Surely any self-respecting programmer would do the same?


How's that significantly different from the Ruby tool they did write?


Java libraries don't tend to break in the presence of multithreading the way Ruby ones do.
