Only if you skip all the tutorials and don't use an editor that warns you about it. Which is another selling point for Java; it has the best editor support and quality assurance tools out there. It took years for e.g. Javascript to catch up and it's still a far cry from a proper typed language with tooling.

I mean by that same logic, Javascript will confuse you as well because `{} != {}`, or C++ because of pointer mechanisms and custom operators.

It's really says a lot that you have to compare with JS or Cpp so that Java comes out on top. Those are 2 extremely flawed languages that are the butts of cliché jokes well-known across every programming circle, their history alone has "HACK" written all over it.
