Really empathize with you! It does seem like you really want it, in that case, allow me to encourage you to start now. Literally 10-20 minutes of actual practice every day. You'll quickly improve.

I'm a dev with 10+ years professional Java experience and something more like this is what I wish Java had always had. Ignore the other commenters who are being predictably and characteristically harsh and uncharitable.

Uh, no. That study is literally the source of truth on that topic. There's no "to add to". I hope you never have to experience what me and others who have the same problem have experienced, but I guarantee you you'd want

The problem is that virtually all languages abuse exceptions and use them for very much expected control flow and business logic. But exceptions should be just that, exceptional. Eg when you make a db call, the db not responding is not exce

I think there's a case to be made for simpler languages, but not the way the author portrays it here, and not the way eg Go does it. IMO the biggest problems with almost all popular programming languages are 1) null 2) exception based
