Terrible code and terrible situations can be encountered in any language. I had a project that gave all sorts of hints of stink that was Java based. Turns out that project involved integrating a system in a preexisting code base with tens of millions of lines of code. Limited documentation, so much abstraction Java was just a syntax of underlying conformity, the language was understanding the myriad of interdependent abstractions to accomplish the integration task. Documentation was incredibly limited given the scale of everything. Obviously, progress was painfully slow. Java itself was not the problem, everything else was.
