Vert.X is a relatively light layer on top of Netty and it is quite nice to work with. Spring WebFlux is also built on top of Netty, and missing some benchmarks, but I have no reason to think it would perform poorly. Its very easy to use for

This sucks so hard. Most Java libraries are planning to drop support for Java 8 when Java 17 hits LTS. This will completely divide the language into two, one for Android and the other for everything else. Google could just run OpenJDK on ph

This is exactly what newer versions of Java allow you to do. The problem is, nobody does it. I really like C# as a language, its better than Java in nearly every way. But this is a rare case where C# is implementing a feature Java has had f

Unfortunately I have doubts. This is one of the few features copied from Java instead of the other way around. You can pre-process code in Java and generate classes at build time instead of reflecting, but I know of just a handful of librar

C# and Java are both guilty of this. I don't think generators will help nearly as much as hoped, because Java has the same problem even though it supports build time code generation through Annotation Processors for like over a decade,

reflection. Same problem Java has. Too many libraries fiddling with the code at runtime. JS is also exposed to this. Some libraries can be shaken but I've always ran into random things breaking when trying it.

I remember reading about this in Java world a while back. To maintain safety you need to validate all the bytecode on load, so you can't really pre-cache it. Newer versions of Java use "class data sharing", but this only cach
