>Recommended languages are Java (ultimately a failure despite vast effort)

Why is Java a failure? Recent JVMs have come a long way, and GraalVM makes it somewhat comparable to Go-like languages.

I understand the historical hate and how Oracle bought it, but it really isn’t that bad of a language if you’re using modern Java.

They're referring to that specific feature of Java being a failure, not the language in general.

The parent was talking about async exception in java -- like the InterruptedException . They are hard to work or reason with.
