Java isn't that bad. It's verbose, but once you get past that it's a perfectly serviceable object oriented language.
The problem is the culture. Indians are by and large too retarded to write good, concise, well-structured code, so they keep throwing the patterns they learned from the Arunachal Pradesh Institute of Technology at the problem until their bloated shitcode works. This leads to a culture of gross overcomplexity.
In my opinion, Java's perfectly serviceable and comfy with fewer language quirks than C++. I don't blame Java for the culture around it.
/g/, are there any serious structural problems with Java that turn you off using it?
