>”latest Java technologies like Spring Boot.” Which are already old enough to drive… latest my ass.

  I hear you, but there's genuine excitement still about Spring Boot and related technologies. See [1] Spring Cloud. [1]https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud https://spring.io/projects/spring-cloud

    Excitement is hardly the term I would use… it’s also old. It’s also outdated. Spring is done without corporate sponsorship or leadership. It died during the pivotal/vmware/handoff days.

      In your opinion, is there a better option than Spring Boot right now in the Java ecosystem? For what it does, at least. I know there are a lot of libraries and frameworks out there but not all are as complete as Spring Boot.

        Ugh, I’d rather use Micronauts or Quarkus than Spring… but enjoy your AutoWiredBeanPreProcessorBeanInterface.

    I remember all the excitement about Spring Cloud... But that was back in 2017. I never thought of Spring (or Spring Boot) as good technology, but even for the right audience Spring boot is as exciting as React is exciting for frontend developers or C is exciting for kernel developers. It's a pretty established technology that was new and cool at one point and has just become commonplace and boring for better or worse (I would argue worse, but that's just me).

  Oh, I assumed that was a joke. I’ll have to check my privilege
