> Was there a similar backlash against the rise of Java, Swift, Kotlin, or TypeScript?
Absolutely. Swift was hated because it lacked so much Objective-C functionality at launch, Kotlin got a similar "Java is fine" reaction, and Typescript got a "why add more complexity we don't need" reaction.
This is just the way of things. The most hated languages are some of the most used ones (Javascript, PHP, Python, etc).
