A comment on Java 18 / JDK 18: General Availability. Parent comment
- Java has great ecosystem support
- JVM is very performant
- Java has well understood quirks
- Reasonably mature build system
- Good deploy story
I wouldn’t use Java for a web server but I like it very much for many other things.
I think Scala + Play does a good job for JVM web frameworks but I’d use a Typescript thing (or just Rails)
There are downsides to Java. Bit and byte manipulation are annoying, for instance. But I’m still happy with it.
