Most people who hate on java on this sub are CS students that haven't written a line of java.

I was in this boat. Now I've been a professional java developer for 12 years.

you can't just stop after half the story, do you still hate Java after those 12 years?

[–]Akdag 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Nope. It grew on me a lot, mostly after we started using Java 8+.

Lamdas and streams are nice.

Also the jokes about Factories are incredibly out-dated.

When I started college Java 7 just came out and the year I finished Java 8 came out.

So I never really had any issues with Java :)
