Nice article as someone familiar with sum types but not sum types in Java.

I don't know if sum types alone are enough to get me to like Java, pervasive nullability is still around and even rears its head multiple times in this article.

It's also not expression orientated yet.

Can you convince me to use Java? I’ve never used it (only C++, Python, CL) but it feels bloated and dirty.

You don’t have to use Java. All the languages you’ve mentioned are fine. If you think that using Java to solve a particular problem is a good idea, then you should definitely use Java.
