I am returning to Java ( Spring Boot, Spring Cloud and IntellJ ) after a long period with C# and .NET core. What a step backward it is! Really the .NET platform is leaps and bounds better than anything offered by Java today (at least when speaking about Spring).

.NET and C# as a platform are evolving extremely fast compared to many other runtimes and languages. In fact, it's kind of been converging with JavaScript and TypeScript. I have a small repo here that highlights this: https://github.com/CharlieDigital/js-ts-csharp https://github.com/CharlieDigital/js-ts-csharp If you stopped working with .NET and C# around version 4, the language itself has transformed. Local functions, pattern matching, records, and more!

  And to be fair, it was always ahead of Java as a language. Reified generics in 2005, LINQ in 2008, Async, language servers etc etc.

If you can, you can give a try to Quarkus, while the doc is not up to the level of Spring, in term of ergonomics, configuration, hot reload, test containers, this is closer to what .NET does, by example annotations are optional and are resolved at compilation not at the execution.
