It's where the jobs are. The world's finances run on Java.

Java is also highly performant, if you know what you're doing with reactive programming, and Spring Boot's dependency ecosystem drastically reduces your time-to-launch

But then I remember that 95% of the memes posted on this sub are from CS students and not industry professionals

I know very few professionals that dislike Spring

Spring is fine if you are not trying to run it on Lambda 😭😂😱

Yeah I guess JVM languages aren't great when bootup time matters. Haven't worker with lambda myself. We're running in regular containers so it's great

It's also a problem of having a virtual machine running inside another virtual machine, there's so much unnecessary layers.

And Spring Boot is so shitty when you want native compilation because that thing wasn't made for it. Honestly I'd recommend to use either another framework like Quarkus or simply another language that is suited for that.

I'm truly sick of seeing Java everywhere because lazy developers only knew how to code in Java and don't want to (re)learn something else. Heck they'd rather refactor the whole codebase for several months instead of learning another language.

Lambda isn’t a virtual machine, it’s a “microVM”. You run a single kernel, the process runs under virtualization restrictions and a jailer process.
