Can use Scala to gradually transition away from java - convert code module by module, interop just works, until eventually no java left, can then compile instead as js, native or even wasm (i recently tried this for my climate-system model which evolved from old java). Also, btw, made in europe, not big-tech, and scala3 looks more like python.

Openjdk works

I’m on Linux and have a large variety of Javas to choose from. (Currently having 2 installed in parallel. Don’t remember ones name, but the other is Temurin.) Is it different on Windows? Why don’t they just switch?

All my private projects compile and run on both and even my favorite old Java game Spiral Knights works after some CLI parameter tweaking for modern JVMs.

I’m guessing 1 out of 10 respondents didn’t understand the question.

Time to bleed legacy companies dry. That’s all they can do at this stage.

Game over, man. Game over.
