Also - don’t discount all the new features JVM and Java have added or are adding: virtual threads, structured concurrency, FFI, class primitives, SIMD. JVM is highly compute performant given its GCd.
I’m not even a Java dev but I respect its place in the ecosystem and find evangelism quite irritating and normally, has some corporate backer(s).
