I don't think that Java is as bad as people make it to be...
There is mostly only a small difference between the programming languages used today, and so we just have to live in a world with lots of different programming languages in our disposal.
I'm not that much into the whole idea of having everything in simpler languages such as Python. Adding too much user-friendliness has a negative effect, as it limits what we can do as programmers...
I like using Python only for prototyping, and switch into C/C++ when I want efficient code.
Also, I don't think that this implementation was too Java-ish, as it can easily be translated into any other object-oriented language...
Anyways, thanks for your comment! Have a nice day!
