Do you really find Java backends to be that great?

I don't think they're intrinsically bad, and Kotlin or Groovy can be nice, but I've always found the community and lack of open source tools to be wanting.

I've found myself to be much more productive in JavaScript/TypeScript or Python, in part because of the languages, but also because the open source libraries have been way better
