Is Java still behind in the race of modern programming languages?
I'm a member of some group of programmers and every time Java is mentioned it's being bashed (something like: "With Rust I could simply do this with X")
Earlier versions of Java were cumbersome in terms of the syntax but with modern IDEs (and modern versions of Java) that's not a big issue anymore, albeit languages like Python do have shorter syntax.
My question is beyond syntax:
What do other languages do better than Java?It could be generics, type system, concurrency and multithreading, closures etc.
Thanks!
