>I don't wanna badmouth Java people, but how they push the idea that this thing is some sort of genuine breakthrough that took multiple PhDs years of cutting-edge research to implement, when in fact they basically copied what .NET did from basically year 1, is not a good look.

Oversimplifying a big semantic and backend change to a huge codebase on which some of the most crucial customer and government and business systems depend on, and which has to be made as seamless, correct, and performant as possible, to "they just copied .NET", just because .NET has the same functionality, is an even worse look.

It's a "HN "Dropbox is just rsync + some scripts"-style bad look.
