> but what "support" do corporations running Java need? I’m guessing it all comes scale and bloat. A hack from 5 years ago to store critical metadata in some schemaless blobs needs to be migrated from an unsupported system to a newer one. The new system uses an updated Java version, and it turns out this gets inexplicably slow when parsing parts of the metadata blobs. Also, maybe JNI is involved, or nobody knows how to build the project, etc. If this was a startup then two devs would pull an all nighter and come up with an even worse hack. Or would offload that to a random cloud platform, burning vc money. Or would not use Java in the first place. Or the startup would not survive / pivot. In a large corporation I guess there’s support.
