It's pretty interesting that people think Java was abandoned because of other languages, and not because of the problems of Java itself - or indeed that features like hot reloading and live debugging are niche or unique to Java. .NET has also had all these features for just as long, and is less prone (though definitely not immune) to AbstractFactoryProxyBean nonsense.
