Some fair points... some comments and one question: 1. Java 10 has type inference so that should improve your first point going forward to some degree. That said, I would also say type system syntax != type system. 2. Compared to what other modern high-level languages? Also slight changing of goal posts, but what other modern high-level language that has some market adoption? 3. Agree with passing `Foo.class` or type tokens around. Very annoying.
