    It’s much better today, but in 2010 that was 100% accurate.

    That being said, using Java as a first time programming language is like a 15 year old trying to fly an airliner to get a few blocks away to pick up some after school snacks. Obviously it’s way overkill. Sure you could get across town with it, but it’s probably 1000x more complicated than just a simple bicycle or even walking.

    Java is industrial strength for professionals. There’s absolutely no consideration made for educational usage.

      Disagree. It’s an outdated tool today. Professionals would not choose it for new projects.
