Few months ago I asked on Twitter “why you think Java is complex?” to understand others perspective. I'm really surprised looking at so many people assuming #Java is complex than other languages. I worked with mostly Java and in recent years I worked with Go, NodeJS too. But I feel Java is less complex and more productive. Any specific points why you think Java is complex? — Siva (@sivalabs) April 1, 2022 And, I got many responses(opinions, insights) and I compiled all the responses into this blog post My attempt to understand why people perceive Java as complex.

Java is and has been the primary programming language I have used throughout my career. If I want to build something quick for a prototype or if I need to pick the tech stack with a tight deadline then Java is my first choice. Especially after Java 8 it becomes more and more feature rich and powerful. On top of it with frameworks like SpringBoot, Quarkus and Micronaut building enterprise grade applications becomes a breeze.
