I was in love with java in 00-s as my first professional language, 10 years later I’ve grown up.

The world has then moved forward to web, open source and more lightweight environments and mindsets.

But java stayed essentially the same verbose corporate heavy monster.

And i left that old, arrogant and picky lady to hang out with young, pretty and more open minded alternatives like ruby, typescript etc.

Looking back now I think i fell in love not with java, but rather the team/project i worked at and the bright future java was promising.
