I pretty much did this.

Don't forget, there are tons of other amazing German authors, just to name a few: Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Schiller, Goethe...

I think German literature is to this day still probably the best in the world.

I also find Math in German way easier and more beautiful than in English. If "clean code" was a thing for languages, German grammar would seem to me to be one of the cleanest.

Java was born to be written in German given the exceptionally long words that appear in both :)

Can you expand on this?

Can't agree more here.

Style, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired.
