I can't deny the performance and scalability of Java. But I've never been a fan of the need to be so verbose when coding for it. Also my memory of Java is from the late 90s...so maybe I'm missing something but I can't recall there ever being a REPL in Java. So I guess TIL :-)

Not only is there now a REPL, but the language is not at all what you remember from the 90s.
