Ditto. After learning Java at uni I harboured a dislike for it for over 10 years while using dynamic languages. Now, having used it to implement microservices in an actually sane development environment, I love it to bits. Static typing gets rid of a crap-ton of subtly broken code which can only be guarded against with a ridiculous amount of over-testing. You basically need 800% coverage to handle all the special input and output which is handled in frankly insane ways. For example, how many methods treat zero as falsy (`if index`) and how many do the opposite (`if index != false`)?
