Not sure about the person above but the following are my opinion on why I don't like Java:

1. no unsigned integers

2. no freestanding functions

3. pom files are a huge pain

4. the com.blah.blah.blah ridiculously long package path precedent makes it awful to work with if you don't have an ide

5. you can't actually use javac to compile your code. everything is so big and complicated you have to use ant, gradle, maven, etc.

6. too much boilerplate. "public static void main" etc.

There's a few more, but they'd take more than a sentence to explain.

Can someone explain why people are upset about Freenode leadership? I've read the other linked articles, but I don't understand what the reasons are.

We also have 150+ million people around the world who've had the virus walking around without damage.

The point is how should we change our recommendations? Are older people or others with certain medical conditions more susceptible to damage?

I don't see how shrugging off this new information is reasonable or scientific.
