Everything in Java looks absolutely horrible.

Trying to do select/poll? There’s something like 4 different classes and I 
don’t know how many methods involved.

Trying to do SSL connections with private CA certs? Takes a bunch of 
different classes (key stores, key managers, trust managers, factories for 
key managers and trust managers, and what not) and over a hundred lines of 
code.

Dates/times? You have to contend with an API that has accumulated so much 
legacy cruft, that you are left with an old class where every single 
member is deprecated, yet the class itself is still needed in the newer-
style calls.
