I liked this article, but it felt to be as much about Scala and Kotlin as about Java. A more accurate title would've been "The Modern JVM Platform". I recently began doing a side project and, for the first time in a while, picked Java over Kotlin. I mostly did so because most books on deep details of the JVM are mostly books about the deep details of Java. Plus: Java is moving along at a fair clip these days. Records just landed in 16, Project Loom and Project Valhalla are coming over the horizon, plus lots of other niceties that've showed up lately.
