Apparently these people enjoy GC/JVM languages more than C++.

GC languages like Java is much easier to write, and can be made performant when required.

Yes, this is the reason why Java is chosen. But I feel pretty strongly that databases are system engineering problems, and should be written using a proper systems language.

Something like Java makes implementation easier, but operation more difficult and costly.
