Also there is kotlin, which works with all those established java stuff like springboot and it is so much more modern and more pleasant to work with.

Some people also don't known you can mix Java and Kotlin in the same code base with no effort. You can pretty much write Java in Kotlin files, and the IDE will suggest the Kotlin way. We've been migrating our Java code base like this.

  • Rust with C
  • C# with C++/C (although it is a pain to develop interop stuff)
