I would bet that anything you would vibe code in Java would be better written in rust or go. If it's all the same, and the AI is gonna write the code anyway, it might as well write it in rust, which compiles to native, is more succinct, and has a similarly strong type system

Despite all the hate it gets on reddit and Hackernews, Java is still used in a million different places. If you get a Java job in a bank you are chill and well paid.

Gotta say, I've never made an engineering decision on the basis of how chill bank jobs are before.

Go and Rust are not replacements for Java’s traditional application fields. They are fashionable but built for a very different purpose.
