I’m sorry but Java is an awful language that is mostly used because you are forced to, or because that’s the only language you know. There are much better modern alternatives.

You can read this to see how modern java differs from the java 15 years ago: https://wittchen.io/posts/an-opinionated-guide-to-modern-java-by-parallel-universe/ https://wittchen.io/posts/an-opinionated-guide-to-modern-jav... Also the JVM is highly optimized, more stable and faster than most other runtimes (and it can run must of the other languages).

> mostly used because you are forced to, or because that’s the only language you know This probably describes 99% of all programming done today, no matter the language. Not everyone is a polyglot programmer able to choose their tech stack at their company.
