The lack of operator overloading is a bit annoying but in practice seldom a real problem. An operator is just a funny looking method. So what.

There are worse fundamental problems in Java. For example the lack of a proper numeric tower. Or the need to rely on annotations to indicate something as basic as nullabilty.



It’s a massive annoyance when working with any sort of numeric code. Or custom collections. Or whatever else the standard library enjoys that nobody else gets to use.
