Tooling doesn't make the language great. Java is still objectively worse than many other languages, especially Kotlin.

Your "objective" view is very subjective... A comment from above (yagodragon): "I think that Java is seriously being downplayed by HN crowd."

There’s nothing that makes a programming language good or bad - they all can do the job. It’s a matter of personal preference - Java might be “objectively worse” for you, but it might the best language possible for thousands of other developers.
