I cant speak for the world, but i have a personal, irrational dislike for Java ever since my university standarized on it for almost every subject and assignment. This was before we even had things like generics.
People hate on Java, likely not because its the worst language, but because it was the least favorite language they were forced to use too often. This hate does not reflect a rational opinion, but an experience.
Ands it about a lot more than language features. Its about culture, what it represents, and the type of role it plays in our industry. Like Cobol before it, Java will not escape its faith and it will die. Not because it must die, but because we must kill it.
