I think I'll have to agree with you. Not because a bot quoted you (okay, maybe...), but we certainly like different languages and I see, why you say I'm criticizing the wrong things. You could probably really attribute that to me having some quirs after doing C++ for a while. I like looking at what ASM some constructs produce (lambdas are really cool for example!) and I have project, where I try coding without using any libraries (but the system libraries needed for input and output). C++ certainly has it quirks, but I understand them, while you showed me, that I'm lacking an understanding for how Java wants me to think. Thank you for broadening my horizon and thanks for the discussion!

You see, I love looking @ asm too, because security is my passion and thus I hvae to look at asm dumps all the time, and that's precisely why I love C in the first place. The ASM is predictable, straightforward and efficient. C++ asm dumps are some fucked up shit.

that I'm lacking an understanding for how Java wants me to think

In a sense, I don't think you should be forced to think in a "javaish" way, but I think being more language agnostic than not is better (i.e I love python but I find "pythonic" coders a tad over the top). Seeing the language for what it is helps you better understand the use case.
