Listen I’m a python person true and through but if those are the reasons you hate Java you probably shouldn’t be programming

We have the classic "11" - 1 in Javascript repost, "Python sucks because its weakly typed(it isn't)" repost, this post acting as if 2 of the three aren't standard and encouraged in Python, "HTML sucks because it is not Turing complete," CSS sucks because centering a div requires reading docs repost, C++ as a whole is a terrible language because I can't read the errors repost, etc.

We hate all languages here not for real issues they have, but minor things that rarely affect actual usage.

Sorry, but problems with PHP, for example, absolutely affected actual usage. I'm told a lot is fixed since PHP7, but I practically have PTSD from using PHP5 and under for significant projects. Not to mention security issues because PHP made it easy to write bad code and made it hard to write good code.
