Hello everyone, I’ve followed this thread yesterday and noticed a few very negative reactions towards the choice of Java. I follow Java evolution from far away, but it seemed like it was evolving in a good direction since the last few years, and that performance-wise it would make sense for the back-end of a Lemmy-like platform.

Is it indeed the case? I was just curious to see that much negativity towards one of the most popular languages.

    Speaking anecdotally, I’ve yet to see a modern Java codebase. But again, that’s just anecdotally, and I’m (truly) sure they exist. Just that I’ve not had the fortune of being around it. Is that a bad thing?
