My favourite is “all the boilerplate” then they come up with go’s error checking where you repeat the same three lines after every function call so that 60% of your code is the same lines orlf error checking over and over
Yeah, that’s the other thing - it does become easier to accidentally fail to deal with errors and the go adherents say they do all of that verbose BS to make error handling more robust.
I actually like go, but there’s so much BS with ignoring the pain points in the language.
When you handle all your errs the same way, I’d say you’re doing something wrong. You can build some pretty strong err trace wrapping errs.
I also think it’s more readable than the average try catch block.

Things like lombok make the boilerplate less of an issue in modern Java too
And god help you if you forget those 3 lines somewhere and you silently have database failures or something else.

You still need to add error handling to every call to every function that might raise an error
