I have spent more than 5 minutes in java, and I don't know why having a stack available on an exception is unwelcoming to new programmers.
It definitely seems better than the approaches some other languages have, like C's "return code 1, check errno", when most new programmers don't even know what an errno is.

Anyone who has spent 5 minutes in Java knows exactly what this looks like. And also how unwelcoming it is to new programmers.

Can you explain it to me?
Sure, but imagine how unwelcoming to everyone it would be if you didn't get a stack trace.
