https://start.spring.io/ https://start.spring.io/ (most popular JVM framework)
Kotlin is especially popular on backend if you can’t jump out of JDK8
F# is functional - by definition not mainstream
- pjmlp 3y agoI am on JVM world since 1996. Spring supports anything that can bring them support contracts. Kotlin, popular outside Android? Reality check over here, https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-top-programming-languages-2023 https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-top-programming-languages-2023
- tkubacki 3y agoDon’t get me wrong F# seems like a nice lang but definitely not mainstream (non geeks don’t use purely functional langs). You can’t deny Kotlin is bigger lang than F# by any ranking from those popular (Tiobe) to unknown ones and is build on top of much bigger ecosystem (JVM) - that’s IMHO much more important factor for anyone doing commercial projects. Additionally there is a big incentive to use it over Java (if you are stuck with older JDK) contrary to using F# over C# Kotlin as a lang is better than C# (which is normal - it’s newer) and has better default IDE (IntelliJ) than anything on the market.

- tkubacki 3y agoWell a bit exaggerated. Seen two Fortune 500 companies moving all never stuff to Kotlin on backend on my own eyes (for the reason I mentioned above) in some branches.
