Java in a large way has been eclipsed by most other languages, and developers kind of have a way of making fun of old technologies, like a lot of the same jokes are made about PHP which is still very popular but outdated. In reality Java is also still incredibly popular and knowing it is certainly a benefit. It's just a collective joke.

I wish people would make fun of Visual Basic more but nowadays it's like it never even existed. As somebody that started in VB I feel left out.
