People don't like to see their favorite languages bashed. It's completely understandable.

I suppose there are many Java enthusiasts on here.

I mean, Java is not a liked language by any metrics, so I guess fans (myself included) are more than used to bashing. That’s why I don’t think that marketing helped the language become as great as it is. Sure, it had a part, but if something would have been substantially better it could have taken over a long time since java is not hypes at all anymore.

I don't think that is true. Windows is still around.
