It’s true java the technology is actually pretty good. Java the culture on the other hand… It’s probably less to do with the language itself rather the fact it’s used mostly for boneheaded enterprise crud

Java has as many developers as a smaller country, ranging from the numerous enterprise domain (you mention) to robotics, to HFT. The culture between these are really distinct between them.

Google says there are 7 million java devs globally. Lets put number of robotics/hft java devs at 100k which seems rather generous. So what are the remaining 98% working on?
