If your systems are Java, you'll hire people who can work in Java, and if the only thing your devs have in common is experience with Java, your new code will be in Java too.

Sad but true, for the obvious business reasons.

I was pleased (somewhat) 20 years ago when Java displaced C++, but now I just wish it would fade away.

Thanks for the garbage collector, Java, now retire.

This said as someone who is convinced that most of what I want to do could be done with FP vs OOP techniques, and FAR less of it.

Except that .NET is the only actual alternative, regarding eco-system libraries, IDE capabilities and tooling for monitoring production systems.
