I think the author just hasn't seen enough. There's not a single language that's better than every other language at everything. Java's type system is inferior to ML language's type system. Java's developer experience is laughable compared to Common Lisp's interactive development. A lot of languages have great package managers - Rust and Elixir comes to mind. Also sometimes smaller community with higher quality is better than huge community with average or below average quality. It always depends. I hope the author doesn't turn into a Java monoglot just because other languages are different. Well, problems also differ from one another.

The fact that somebody had to point out to him that C# also met his four points under "A holy grail of productivity" should tell you all you need to know about his complete lack of experience in the field. This is nothing more than the ramblings of an inexperienced kid who thinks they know it all. He'll probably look back on this in a few years and realize how little he actually knew.
