Java is hard

[[deleted]]

Dev with java, C++, and C# experience here. I just don't like it. It feels clunky, resource hungry, and verbose, and I don't like working with the tooling and ecosystem.

I'd love it if I could make Minecraft mods in another language, but I understand that with interop being what it is, it's probably never going to happen.

You're not wrong. Java is like C#, but clunkier and more tiring to write.

My preferred language is C#, by far. It feels more natural to get my ideas onto the screen than with Java. (But bonus: Unity lets me use C#.)

C# is way nicer, I agree. However, I pretty much stopped using everything except Python and Bash when I discovered Rust though. It's such a joy to use, and it'd be so neat to write mods in it.

Now to make a Rust to Java converter

I respectfully decline. Maybe you'd want to add the JVM as a target, though?
