I work in a company whose core systems are all written in Java, I deal with modern Java every day.
Well, it really, really doesn't show. I'll have to take your word for it. I suppose your company is doing badly, since Java is really not suitable for its needs?
You seem likewise uninformed about functional programming and how it has been used to write extremely high-performance fintech systems.
No, mlthoughts2018 doesn't "seem" that way. You have decided they are, and are camouflaging your personal chosen interpretation with false objectivity.
Sorry, I'm even less interested in arguing with what you think of another user who doesn't need your help defending their point.
In any case, that Java's OOP cannot be successfully deployed for business software is counterfactual. Anyone insisting on that point is unfamiliar with Java.

You seem to be talking out of principle instead of actually having hands-on experience developing large systems in Java. To be honest, it doesn't seem you're familiar with the language or the platform.
I'm not interested in debating your theoretical preconceptions.
