Javalin is a bit of a cop out because it's not strictly Java.
I agree with modern Java improvements for the most part, especially if you are including Kotlin in that ecosystem - I really enjoy writing Kotlin.
However, I've professionally switched to Go and really wouldn't want to go back to Java much. I already think Go is a bit bloated, and I still feel like Java (even w/ the latest modern features) still gets incredibly bloated.
