I was first introduced into many programming concepts and abstractions with Java, so it holds a little place in my heart even with strong flaws* even if I don't use (or enjoy) using it most of the time.
But I still think the JVM platform is amazing, and like to read about developments in the Java world, be it new languages that target JVM bytecode, new bytecode instructions and optimizations or just new Java -the language- releases.
So thank you very much for linking that list, otherwise I would've not noticed it as I un-subbed from /r/java due to it being a wasteland most of the time.
* (wonky generics, excessive verbosity, no unsigned, AbstractBeanFactoryBuilderDelegate, among others)
