I have written a lot of Java the last 2-3 years, with Maven, IntelliJ, and Dropwizard. This after years of C++, Prolog, and Haskell. Fun is not exactly the predicate I would attach to modern Java. Of course, this is all subjective. But I can barely imagine that people coming from more expressive statically typed languages would like Java very much. (That's not to say that the tooling for Java isn't extremely good.)
