it looks to me that whoever wrote the job qualifications bit is injecting some of their own distaste for Java per se and maybe a kind of style of programming/thinking that dominates in the Java community. (Not sure if that’s fair or unfair, but that’s how it comes across to me.) “Java experience is not unwelcome. But pretty please don’t be one of THOSE JAVA GUYS.”

Interesting how these job ads say somethng about what you might you be getting yourself into eh?

Speaking of Java, I found this comment in some legacy code from 2005. // Since Java is weird, convert hour == 12 to hour 0 if (hour == 12) { hour = 0; }
