How is Java easy to learn, you need a huge IDE, I don't know how many SDKs or dependables and two pass compilation and 1000 layers of abstraction, ...

Try these languages in order of ascending difficulty: C, assembly, Delphi, Ada, C++

After that, you'll understand that Java is on the spectrum of "easy" programming languages.

The IDEs are very helpful by the way. You only need one SDK, which is a single download.

Ide makes learning easier and faster instead of harder. You dont have to care about compiler passes, ide compiles seamlessly.

But yeah, learning java ecosystem well enough takes a lot of time for someone who is just starting and you have to be comfortable with abstract thinking.
