The JVM is really a marvel of engineering. I have yet to see another system that offers what it does in terms of performance, GC tunability, observability, monitoring, profiling, etc. .NET is the only thing that comes close, but it has a ways to go in terms of what the JVM is capable of. Java the language is really coming along nicely. With records, pattern matching, string templates, virtual threads, value types (in the work), and more, it's shaping up to be a top notch development language.
