Java still has same issue too with bored engineers. Over engineering happens. AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean anyone? But really strongly typed languages like java is easier than most dynamic typing language to jump into _if the project is sane_.

Yeah, typing usually helps. Hiring and training programmers to follow good practices (like not doing what grandparent claims only happens in Clojure) helps even more :)

The J2EE culture (for lack of a better perjorative) negatively impacted Java's mindshare. I still love me some Java for personal projects. But work Java usually means Spring, Hibernate, Maven, and other monstrosities. I'd hate Java too if that's all I knew.
