good job, and kodus to you guys. BUT, it's sad to see that java (as a language not VM) still exists. It's such a bad language compared to many other existing options

It still exists because it's "bad".

Very small language initially, with some 1990s warts that we all understand, and new features are only added long after they've proved their worth elsewhere.

This means a lot for long-term hiring and maintenance.

Could you elaborate on how it's bad compared to the alternatives?
