The bulk of my full stack experience has been dotnet. But for the past 5 years I’ve moved into Java and Spring. I’m not a big fan of the JVM, but it works. However, Kotlin + Spring Boot is pretty fucking incredible. 1.x is kind of a pain in the ass, but 2 and 3 really blow me away at how well things integrate when you go with convention. The major gripes I have is that _up-to-date_ documentation on the best ways compose a modern app using several modules where you aren’t fighting the tools. Official module docs tend to breeze over stuff. I can’t tell you how much time I’ve wasted rolling my own ____ and fighting against autoconfig then finding there’s a simple but poorly documented way of doing what I need. But even with that frustration, I feel like I’m able to launch projects faster using Spring Boot than dotnet.
