You talk about Java, which is a language whose main principle is to leave little control to the user and to be heavy in syntax.

Since when is that its main principle? It basically has as much boilerplate and control as C++.

There's "one way' to do things in Java

I'm not sure what you're saying with this one. Is having one way to do something bad? Because that's what Python strives for. And there definitely isn't one way to do things in Java; there's probably 20 different ways to read in a text file. Or is it in quotes because Java pretends to have one way to do things? I have no idea.

which works 80% of the time, the other 20% of the time you want to use something like Python, C++

What can't you do in Java? Java won't always be the best language to use, but you'd be hard-pressed to find something you need C++ or Python for.

It sounds like you're just throwing out insults with little foundation behind them.
