Generating a Java program with 90% less code

I think part of what's happening right now is that the IDE for most languages other than Java seem to be consolidating on VS Code as the lowest common denominator. This makes sense given how many projects these days are a hodgepodge of 3 or 4 different languages, but the fact that working with the JVM more or less requires a dedicated IDE makes Java a lot less attractive to most teams.

(Yes, I know you can do Java in VS Code but I wouldn't want to manage a large Java codebase with it.)

Why not?

probably because the code insight offered in VS Code is lagging behind what was available years ago in popular Java IDEs such as Eclipse and IntelliJ

while I agree VS Code is starting to get a lot of traction, it's far from the only solution for polyglot development (IntelliJ...) and it certainly has the facilities to support large java codebases.
