Java isn’t really something we want to work with. So I guess that’s the quick answer. There is nothing wrong with Java, I think projects like quarkus is pretty cool and the JVM is a battle tested machine. Our issue is more process related. We’re a small team so we try to use as few languages as possible, and since we can’t realistically avoid using TypeScript we tend to use it everywhere we can. Then when we need some extra juice we turn to C. We even PoC’ed Rust but decided it wasn’t “boring” enough for us yet. Aside from that it can be hard to hire people for Java around here. It’s not a language a lot of people want to work with, and it’s common enough that the ones who do already have jobs.
