The author never said that, just 'I don't need generics' and they very rarely missed them.
What other criticisms did they dismiss/reframe?
Lack of stack traces in errors is mentioned and mostly dismissed, and error handling in general is reframed I guess... but these claims are backed up by evidence that it works. Crashes and NPE are extremely rare, and for those standard errors are sufficient to locate problem areas.
But then package management is listed as an honest pain point.

Anything else?
