General statements like "...Java is quite outdated in many regards..." without providing any specifics are a sign of mentioned tribalism. Such general statements don't bring quality to the discussion, because nobody can really check whether Java is really so outdated or not.

I replied specifically to
> Java is disliked on HN because it represent "enterprise"
which I think is not true. Maybe for some people, but there is valid criticism too.
I am happy to give examples, but I am disappointed that you call my response "tribalism". It really is not meant like that.

If I personally dislike XYZ I could write "XYZ is quite [outdated/boring/miserable/painful/awful/uncreative] in many regards". But people here are more interested in (specific) advantages and disadvantages than my personal taste...
