Honest question, in which way is the autnomy of educators being undermined? The article mentions several topics that are prohibited to discuss for children.

Let's be honest here, what's wrong with their list of prohibited books? From the article: * Pornography * Instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in grades kindergarten through three. * Discrimination in such a way th

To be fair, I think they get around the lack of GC choices by rewriting slow paths to code that uses value types and low level code.

Except it's not really a sinking boat. Both the JVM and .NET are doing quite well.

Not really. Plus, Red Hat Software, MS, Apple, Amazon, IBM, SAP are all developers for OpenJDK, as well as contributions from other major firms.

OpenJDK is free. Given the things that Java does, there aren't really any serious competitors - C# comes to mind, but not much else.

They've been doing a very good job at it as well. The developments that have and are going into Java in the past few years have been quite great. From projects like Amber, Loom, Valhalla, GraalVM, Lilliput, Panama, and more!

That's not really true to the slightest. If anything, the advances in the JVM and the language itself have been making it even more attractive and distinct from its nearest competitors, making the gap even wider in its favor.

That's quite an exaggeration. The JVM philosophy is different from .NET's, even though there is a large overlap with them being VM based languages. C# has gotten too complex as a language, with so many features. C# also exposes lo

What do you think of Spring Data JDBC ( https://spring.io/projects/spring-data-jdbc )? It seems it's somewhere between JDBCTemplate and Spring Data JPA.

I think another part of it is that there are many "bootlickers" that will do whatever it takes to keep that director floating, because they think or feel that director will get them promoted, give them a bonus, etc. The moment tha

I like the theory that it's another collusion to suppress wages, but they can't get sued for it this time.

Even if you use a non-GC language, you are not guaranteed deterministic destruction (e.g. in data structures with loops or a highly variable number of nodes).

You're correct that Western style democracy and secularism contradict Islam. We as Muslims don't look at those notions as measures of prosperity.
