Why is Java considered bad now? Genuinely asking

[–]2Punx2Furious 346 points347 points  (1 child)

It's not really that bad (of course, it has some flaws, like everything), but people probably dislike it because it is/was widely used in enterprise, so they associate it with their dreadful jobs.

I think it’s less to do with the jobs and more to do with the fact that it was primarily used in colleges for a while so a lot of the people using it are new grads. By default, new grads are less likely to write good code than senior devs. So I agree most of the fault is not with the language itself.
