To be honest I’m just playing into the meme of Java.
My understanding is it’s academically great, but a pain in practice.
For reference we use C# .Net, Entity Framework with GraphQL and React TypeScript for our enterprise applications and I really like C# now, but when I first started I’d only really used Node.js and some Java.
I started my career in Java and transitioned to c# a few years in and c# is much better imo, especially now that .Net can be run in Linux.
I run a team for a large project (13 deployable components apis/ Windows services/ desktop applications/ websites/mobile) that has mix of vb.net/c# .net framework 4.8 and .net 6 soon to be 8 with angular for Web and wpf for desktop. Slowly but surely working to kill off our legacy code and consolidate.
Some of the older vb code (that existed long before I joined the project let alone became the lead dev) is so bad that a bug fix for nhibernate that stopped silently failing and began throwing exceptions breaks everything if we try to update to a later version. it’s such a tangled mess and I’m probably the only one on my team that could unfuck it(but I didn’t have the time to do it) it’s not even worth fixing even though our version of nhibernate has a CVE with rating of 9/10 (we don’t actually use anything that is affected from the finding thankfully) and are just biding our time till we kill off the offending apps.
Ohh and I have a new PM that isn’t technical and likes to email me his chat GPT queries and results about technical things.
As a C# developer Java go go and die lol. It sucks imo.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

No problem. I’m not sure if all of that would run on all the platforms I use.
.net can run on Linux now
