"Write once, run anywhere," they promised. What they didn't say was: debug everywhere, depend on monstrous frameworks, and drown in boilerplate forever. Java Is Awful is not a rant. It's a technically grounded, brutally honest critique of one of the most overhyped languages in the history of programming.

Inside, you'll find: Why Java's syntax became an obstacle, not a tool The cult of complexity created by frameworks like Spring How Android development became a bureaucratic nightmare Why NullPointerException still haunts millions of apps Comparisons with Go, Rust, Kotlin, and modern tools A roadmap to move on - without hate, but with clarity For developers, teachers, and tech leads , this is the book to read before choosing Java as a "safe" default. Stop embalming code. Start programming again.
