I get the argument from this article that it’s possible.

But I don’t get the argument that this is somehow desirable. Just because it’s possible to smash a square peg into a round hole doesn’t make it a good idea.

The argument is probably that it’s no longer square.

I'm definitely not going try to force it upon those who don't like java - but I'm saying that the Java peg is way more round than most believe so don't just start using another slightly round peg like python, go, javascript etc. because others said its required :)
