I'm not implying that it's a bad language though. Like Java, it's a very widely used language in enterprise and industry, and I think that most of the programmers in those languages view programming as just a 9-to-5, white collar job that puts food on the table. Nothing wrong with this view either, but it's not the kind of environment that would create memes or inside jokes.

Rust, Haskell or Ocaml, on the other hand, are exactly the kind of languages that passionate programmers, that spend a lot of time in chatrooms and on forums like HN, would spend their time on.
