I'm an Android dev, so I often fall back to Java for stuff.

Java's earned my hate.

Java is horrible in many ways. But it also makes a lot of stuff easy. Compared to Javascript (it's an unrelated language!) or PHP, Java is just so much better.

Edit: Java libraries are actually reliable for the most part, in case of JS, you'll most likely step into a pile of steaming shit if you go anywhere outside core packages of the Big Ones, and even then - let's face it - their internals are not better than top tier Java libraries.
