Java?

ok, /prog/, i need your help.
I am a noob. What is Java used for?
Not a troll, just want to hear it from those who know and use it.

Java is used to force programmers to write horrible but maintainable code that's well suited to enterprise work as it aims to make everyone easily replaceable. It mainly got off on hype at first but now survives on the tons and tons of reusable, if shitty, code around for it.
