Oracle and the fall of Java EE

I'm exactly the same way - every language/platform I've explored has been frankly a waste of time sadly. In the meantime, Java instead has learned to scale down beautiful as well. Working in the node ecosystem lately has made me appreciate many times more, it's incredible how unproductive it is.

I still find it the gold standard of language/platform combos.

The npm is a mess.

Granted, Maven Central has the advantage of Java being statically type checked.

But CPAN is awesome. And Perl is dynamic. But modules in CPAN are thoroughly unit tested when you install them.

npm is neither. You find incompatibilities when you run it.
