I hate java.

I love the JVM.

90% of the benefits of java are benefits of the JVM.

the Java language itself is garbage though. Too many hacks, too slow release cycle, too slow adoption cycle.

Kotlin is actually a great language built on the JVM that handles the weaknesses of Java and builds on the strengths of the JVM.

So once again, I am sick of articles "Java s0x0rs!" and "Java r0x0rs!" Please be specific as to what is a problem Java or JVM, and address that.

The only issue I have with Java is the JVM's garbage collector. I hate that the JVM's GC can't automatically expand and collapse the total allocated space to make your application run as lean as possible, but also expand to take up as much ram as needed. And by the time OutOfMemory exception is thrown, you are screeeeewed, best u can do is die. Wish there were strategies for out-of-memory handling (like which memory can be scrapped in favor of application stability)... then again you probably have a well designed app at this point.
