Java looks more leaner, except when really wants to master it, also needs to understand JVM APIs for low level coding (invokedynamic and friends), annotation processors, JVM agents, just like C and C++ how the many existing implementations behave, bytecode rewriting libraries,....

Sure, but day-to-day Java doesn’t usually require that any more than day-to-day development in Objective-C doesn’t require learning the details of the runtime.

C# has all of that, and more syntaxes. And I don't think anyone's ever taken the position that Java is as complex as C++
