> there isn’t a whole lot of mindshare going towards java these days. At least in regards to new FOSS projects. No surprise, Java never had a great standing in FOSS. Most FOSS in java originates from companys or research-projects. Which might be the reason why many data science FOSS-tools these days are written in java. Sometimes I even get the impression apache foundation is now an oracle-sweatshop because of all the java-software they have now.
