Interesting points, and I have to say they do ring true. The type system is definitely limited and if you compare it to Haskell I understand 100% why you'd be frustrated. And the docs are overly verbose while simultaneously not being detailed enough. For me, I'm currently at a point where a lot of these things are „known issues“, and they don't affect my day-to-day too much. I think the last time they did matter was during the Java 1.7 -> 8 switch, but I see what you mean. It's funny that you mention not being fond of Python & Javascript, because those are the two most "mainstream" alternatives I thought you'd compare Java to, with plenty of warts themselves.
