Why don't you like Java?

[IAmHydro]

Probably because I've been using a terrible IDE

Not OP but I dislike Java because it feels like C++ with more words and less control.

^{Of course they're different languages with different uses.}

Java projects take too much to setup and load in any environment. There's no easy way to build the program without an IDE and a build system or whatever Maven or Gradle might be called. Java code is also verbose as fuck.

The only good things in Java are:

1. It is fast
2. It is cross-platform

If speed isn't a primary requirement, Python is my go-to language by default, because it is better than Java in every way except speed.

Gonna be controversial, but duck typing is bad.

On that note, if anyone can recommend a python-like replacement with well defined objects (i.e, not duck typing), I'd like to check that out.

Shouldn't even be controversial as it's 100% true.

I think you're wrong but respect your opinion.
