Got say I wasn't expecting such a good video on a topic such as this. You manage it amazingly and explain it even better. Thanks a lot! <3

Good. Every day I learn something new xD

This is a little tangential maybe but the module system and the new Java cadance is so annoying to me. Especially b/c they no longer bundle JavaFX. Miss the Java 8 days lol
