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.
Personally java is still my favorite language. I program in others as well but when I’m free to pick a language java is still my go-to and I love a lot of the new features that have been added. This project is definitely really cool and I might even give it a drive.
