I am quite grateful to have started learning programming with Java. The manual nature compared to the likes of Swift and even Python was quite useful for understanding core concepts that apply in design. Swift makes everything 'smart' and infered, which is very, VERY nice. But I could see how that would potentially abstract a bit too much of the computer science aspects. I'm sure there are C developers who probably said the same thing looking at Java when it first came out though!
