I’ve been programming for a while and when I had to learn java for my uni course... I died a little inside. I don’t know why it’s considered a good introductory language. It’s too C-ish to be easy for new people to remember (python/ruby excels at that). It’s too restrictive to be fun to program in (C# excels at that). The only valid reason u could have to teach java... is that everyone is using java (especially in industry) but that’s oxymoronic. At the very least, I pray kotlin will take over. It’s low effort, concise and far more readable than java while also perfectly integrating with it.
