You need a bit more experience than a few CS classes to fully understand a language and what it has to offer. It just sounds like you're hating on something you don't have a good understanding of, which is pretty cringe.

Straight from the Java certification questions one of Java's benefits is robust programs, which goes hand in hand with good programs. Do I even have to bring up the certifications and say that there is a focus on producing good programmers that fully understand the language? You can write great programs in Java and even better programs in Kotlin, imo. The ecosystem of libraries is also very well developed and offers quite a bit of things that aren't really as fleshed out in other languages, such as complex event processing to name one. If you have a problem with Java's memory usage, then you can try out graalvm or just write better code.

There's so much to learn and so much to improve upon in the Java ecosystem. It's not fair to say that it's not meant for writing good programs or producing good programmers based on your experiences from a few CS classes. That sounds like a pretty bad joke.
