As for myself, I've always disliked Java. Hated it really. Then

There's a lot of truth in that article. It's not as if Java is wart
free, and if you don't like it, then you don't like it.
I see it as being the difference between object-oriented programming and
procedural program. If you're in a procedural world, you're going to be
dominated by verbs. If you're in an object-oriented world, you're going to
be dominated by nouns. Ends up being a matter of taste, IMO. But I doubt
you could find an object-oriented language that couldn't have most of the
same said about it (except for the verbosity ... Java is *definitely*
verbose, and again, non disputandum ... I for some strange reason happen
to like it).
