Pretty much large suathes of banking and financing companies, as well as other massive industries, which btw are hiring and pay well.

Java (or rather JVM) is slow at first, but once a JVM has "booted" Java performance wise is on par with the performance of other languages, even system languages. This isn't too apparent in the open source world, because Oracle.

Most infrastructure running on Java have been doing so for decades and continues to be implemented, not because the project managers are idiots, but because the software is portable and java (believe it or not) is getting better, similar to how JS has gotten better post-TypeScript.

So let's not throw the language and infrastructure on the fire in a time when we know *technical debt" is just an executive excuse to allow rushed, faulty and unoptimized programming in order to meet insane deadlines by white collar deadites.

"Agile", "crunch", "technical debt". We've been taken for absolute fools, and now we're blaming the tools. Smh.

Ah sorry - I wasn't dissing Java - I was questioning the commenter's knowledge of Java, given that Minecraft was the example they chose.
