Java can be hard to decipher in its own way. Mostly because of a culture of favoring just-in-case indirections, a propensity towards making deep call stacks as the codebase evolves (maybe because IDEs make that navigation tolerable, although it never makes it easy to see the whole context), and pretty imperative constructs outside of streams and lambdas. But on the whole Java is not bad. I think it’s perfectly OK. I am more afraid of Java culture.
