Java style verbosity hurts readability. That’s the most important issue with Java imho. Take a look at a http server one in Java and one in C. Readability difference is crazy. My company is in transition from Java to C, for bunch of stuff just for performance reasons. So, I debug similar projects time to time both in Java and C, http server, in memory cache, iot server etc. After seeing both, I just think although Java has great tooling, it drives developers to write unreadable code.
