Java has Grails web framework. We have designed apps with 75% less resources and time compared to Spring at a big enterprise. But most devs wanted springboot.

Grails requires Groovy, though you can integrate Java classes into a grails app.
Now that we can develop script style with Java 21, I'd like to see something like Grails that worked with Java only...that would be a fun way to develop web apps. I liked Grails, just not Groovy.
