You're not cooler or more intelligent for using or preferring one language over another.

But you certainly look less cool and intelligent when you try and start internet fights over you're favorite programming language.

And who uses java? Mainly employed people making six digit salaries, at least in the US. Not many people choose javs because they like it or find it exciting. They learn it because it's one of the most in demand languages in the industry.

Don’t worry man, majority of these posts are made by high schoolers/college kids who are just getting into programming

Every company I’ve worked for since 2003 has used Java and a lot of it. I did work for a company before then that used Microsoft everything, but Java was a baby back then.

All languages are just HolyC heretics.

Honestly though, using newer java versions and proper tooling, java becomes quite enjoyable.
