Don't know about that. Java is IMHO about to enter a serious downward spiral as lots of stuff is being deprecated going to Java 9 such as ancient jetty/tomcat versions, JAXB 1, JAX-RS (which people used in the 2000's and early 2010's to create "RESTful" apps/microservices), and being force-obsoleted with incompatible newer versions having features no-one asked for. The Java ecosystem might have worked well under the illusion of multiple implementations for standard core interfaces, and with projects requiring high attention such as Hibernate, Spring, freaking Maven, etc. as long as it was the cool shit (it wasn't really cool IMHO) and had some money behind, but as Java is becoming legacy technology, it increasingly sucks to maintain pom.xml (aka pron.xml) files pointing to obsolete packages on a barren place like mvnrepository/maven central. My experience with younger devs having to maintain Java code: they secretly look for Go and entirely other career choices to get tf away from Java and Maven, and I can't blame them.
