Anyone who knows me knows that I hate Java with the fire of a thousand suns, but this is just sad. Most of these are true of any programming language. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to hate Java besides the fact that its concurrency utilities are as utterly shite as those of its 90s contemporaries, like the fact that it does not support multiple inheritance, or remote interface implementation, or any form of namespacing besides the goddamned filesystem, or unsigned integers, or string formatting. Or you could rant about the primitive type/object dichotomy and how you can’t use primitive types in generics, or the fact that type erasure is a thing and you can’t return a generic type from a method because javac is too stupid to remember what generic parameters you passed to a class, or the JVM’s atrocious memory efficiency, or the fact that it’s not backwards compatible thus requiring end users to install multiple versions of the JVM for different projects, or
