Java is in a completely different leagues to the rest of these.

Whatever you think Java sucks at, the other languages mentioned here suffer from much worse.

A language is only as enjoyable as the hellish legacy projects that you'll actually spend your time maintaining.

That’s why the Java programmer looks happier in the “after” pic. Not as much as Python but it’s still there.

Does Java have an elegant way of compiling to native machine code now? Genuinely asking.

Not java itself, but GraalVM can do this https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image/

I can't confidently tell you it's production ready as I have never used it myself.

I’d rather use a language that doesn’t treat me like an incompetent child, removing unsigned ints because “they’re a source of bugs”.
