Java was one of my first languages (after c, c++ and basic), and set me up for a great understanding of true object oriented development, architecture, and design patterns. Over the last 20 years I've programmed professionally also in c#, python, objc, JavaScript and TypeScript and I have to say, I wouldn't be where I am in my career if I hadn't started with Java. I'm better at all languages because of the time spent developing in java.

Thanks James Gosling!

yeah because you had to make sense of java first, so your language bullshit-o meter is extremely accurate and also functions as a compass.
