Talking to Postgres Through Java 16 Unix-Domain Socket Channels

More or less it.

They use Android Java samples on their Java vs Kotlin talks on why Kotlin.

Then not only is Android Java a cherry picked subset of Java 8, the features they are adding support up to Java 11 are mostly related to standard library, and not all of them.

Then there is the feeling of anti-Java culture in Android, with #KotlinFirst, despite the fact of Android Studio, Android Frameworks, Gradle being Java based.

The irony is that they don't get that as Java and JVM moves forward, Kotlin will eventually be forced to differentiate between JVM and ART worlds.

My take agreeing with this was not well-received elsewhere: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26009804

I did a lot of Java on Android, and it was not representative of the Java I do on the serverside.

Indeed, Android Java is Google's J++.

Microsoft learned their lesson and are now even an OpenJDK OEM, after buying jClarity.

The SV darling can do no wrongs.
