I'm on board with Java not being a great first language but I'm pretty tired of posts constantly citing ancient unidiomatic Java to prove how bad of a language it is. Their file i/o example could just as easily be

  import java.io.IOException;
  import java.nio.file.Files;
  import java.nio.file.Paths;
  
  public class fileIO {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
      Files.copy(Paths.get("test.txt"), System.out);
    }
  }

Granted that Files utility was added in 2011. Even in 2010 there were plenty of better ways to write that example.
