I'm writing Java now, after a long gap, and it's ok.
It has its share of annoying aspects, but it's not too bad.
Java is a bit like a high-level assembler for the JVM,

C# fixes every one of my complaints about the Java language,
and generally seems more thoughtful.

I simply ignore the philosophy as much as I can,
although it's hard to escape the terminology (all those "factories").
