I'm not personally a Java fan, but "java is quite outdated" is a quite outdated statement itself.

Sure, it's not as fast to add stuff as C#, and also surely anyone looking for a fight can nitpick, but it has most modern features you'd expect a modern language to have.

I acknowledge that it improved recently and I'm not saying it is a bad language. But it is missing a lot of features and convenience that the majority of newer language add. Java prefers to put a lot of emphasis on compatibility, which also has its merits. But the language itself (not ecosystem/tooling) is outdated in many areas. I stand by that.
