Why is there always such a concerted effort to destroy the reputation of Java? It just seems so unnecessarily obsessive, and a lot of times wrong.

Don't get me wrong, I know that with time comes change, and Humanity improves on everything, including programming languages.

But at this point it seems like people want to hose Java down with holy water. It's excessive.

Yeah I kinda agree. C# might have some nice new shiny features but Java is improving all the time and has deep roots in the open source community.

Scripting languages don't really compete with Java because they are a different type of tool. Even when data engineers/scientists use pyspark in data pipelines it's just a thin wrapper around JVM scala code.
