Java was the language I used in university. While it may be well structured, I hated it as a junior level dev. There’s just so many unnecessary classes and abstractions to accomplish basic stuff.
It makes sense in large applications with experienced developers, but it sucks to learn.

I think Java strikes a great balance here, and while I also had a phase where I thought how much better Scala is for example, I can appreciate java much more nowadays and will default to it for most projects.
