Java is a good language if you're a beginner, but if you've already coded before in other languages, it's going to suck.

They should've just picked Kotlin.

It also encourages good basic habits, such as not making a variable mutable unless you specifically need to (val is way more common than var, the IDE makes them very visually distinct).
