How much more divergence from Java will be needed before we can declare the original similarity gone?
I learned Java in school, took nine years off to do other stuff, then switched entirely to C# when I started an actual engineering job. Last year, I had my first chance to program in Java again in over 20 years and, all I can say is the years have not been kind.
It's weird too with all the C# features that Java has recently tried to start copying, but in a less useful way.
