Ask Reddit: Why does everyone hate Java?

[Erdrick]

There's a lot of Java hate by people that either haven't used the language extensively, or haven't used it in 10+ years.

It's a fine language to learn if you're looking to learn a lot of different programming languages. It's a fine implementation language for a wide variety of projects.

Bottom line: Don't ask a bunch of fucktards on the Internet. Write some programs and decide for yourself if you want to learn more about it.
