For a time, Java was set to be the 'everything everywhere' language, IIRC in some quarters the hype behind Java on everything was even bigger than Cloud, then Crypto, then AI.

I remember those days well. I had the misfortune of working for one of Java's biggest advocates at Sun, Patrick Naughton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Naughton

To this day, I refuse to use Java or anything on the Java ecosystem, like Clojure, or Groovy, etc.

I've always thought of Java programming as being kind of perverse with the patterns and verbosity, now I see where the perversion is coming from.

It kind of was, I remember my "pre-smart" Sony phones having Java games.
