Facts are nouns, adjectives are subjective. A subjective analysis is hard to trust. I hate Java, because I choose to do so. Java being a bad language cannot be proven by my personal opinion. People do amazing things with it, Minecraft was initially Java, Android apps run on JVM etc etc.

This article has more than 10 adjectives (many have adverbs attached to them or written like "... much more sane and reasonable language like Python ...") in its first five sentences. Thanks for the effort but no, I cannot trust any of it.

That's a weird metric. "Java is an abomination" uses nouns but is entirely subjective, "Java is class-based and garbage-collected" uses adjectives and is objectively true.

I'd try to save my argument here but I know I'll fail hard. Let's try :)

"Abomination" implies disgust, so your example can be paraphrased as "Java is disgusting.".

To fail harder, let's paraphrase further.

"Java programs are built with classes and collect their garbage."

At least I've tried. My own comment actually has adjectives too (like "subjective") but this is getting too meta.

One more thing; f word in critical posts about computer science related stuff is a bad abstraction.
