      I am aware of that, but Java is the most popular language that runs on the JVM. I don’t specifically dislike other JVM languages, though one of my issues is type erasure and that’s partially a limitation of the JVM.

        Kotlin is becoming very popular.In like 10 years of Java development I ran into type erasure like once…

        Project Valhalla should help with it though (when it finally lands). And kotlin/other jvm languages will benefit as well.
