I don’t do programming for a living (i manage infrastructure) but i have a very fond memory of java from the earliest days of my career.

I really really think that java is weighted down by all the ceremonial enterprise stuff that has accumulated over the years.

Lightweight frameworks are somewhat recent, otherwise you really couldn’t print a text/plain http response without bringing up a whole application server and a whole ecosystem of libraries (j2ee)

Also… the build system situation is still shit
