I was responding to: > java is very easy to troubleshoot compared to c, go, and rust >> Can you expand on this? Why do you think that? So the comparison is C

  That’s getting closer to what would have been an informative response. It could use further expansion but that could allow someone reading it to weigh how much that would remove a limiting factor in their experience. For example, also having experience with all of them, the overall advantage over C is clear-cut but Rust is a lot less clear since stronger type system and better culture around package management and complexity avoids a lot of problems that otherwise require runtime troubleshooting. Granted, a key part of that is really the question of whether you’re talking about a modern Java project or the more common enterprise Java sort with layers of accreted complexity and probably architecturally frozen at Java 8, where the problem is cultural rather than the language itself.

Consider that you've gotten more useful information from my response than what you've paid for. If you want the whole picture, buy the book. Your sense of entitlement to more of my time seems misplaced.
