I don’t understand why you got voted down. I don’t have the enthusiasm for Java I did 20 years ago (the alternate for employment in Sacramento was largely C++ back then, mind you), but I think what you said is accurate. Personally, I want to see Java retire, but downvoting people who are pointing out legitimate benefits, even if there are counter points to be made, seems rude.
