Doubt it honestly. Seems to me like the main group of people up in arms about it are those who never did serious Java development anyways.

  Comments on HN vary very widely in quality, but articles about Java or the JDK currently seem to attract particularly passionate low-quality comments. Does it somehow tickle the same neurons that Microsoft did back in the days of Micro$haft Winblowz 95?

    If you think Java has it bad, I invite you to read every thread about C++.

      Even if the hate is poor at least C++ gets quasi-technical hate. 90% of low effort complaints on HN are about Oracle v Google. I'd take morning and groaning about GC or boring verbosity language over that in a heart beat.

      PHP projects also get a lot of hate from people that have no idea about PHP, they just learned that some noobs wrote bad code with it, it is not a pretty or cool language but only bad developers would port existing project from PHP just because the language is not cool.
