I think I started in late 1990 but I did not like it.

Java has much improved though. Slow improvements, probably in part due to Kotlin, but it has gotten better since then. Even though I still think it is needlessly too verbose.

I felt the same it was too verbose. genuinely curious: what book do you suggest today, to someone who wants to learn Java afresh ?
