Comment on Java is still worth learningparent

Seconded on operator overloading, but being restricted to the limited set of "primitive" (value) types is horrible too. Complex numbers are table stakes. The idea that I need to dynamically allocate an object holding two floats and hope the JIT can optimize that into a stack value is awful.

Actually using the record at the moment might be almost a guarantee of success. Java JIT is great!
