Java is solid as hell. That's why (well that plus the ease of hiring) it's the default choice for most major corporations.



Developers in corporations are moving away from java at a frantic pace. A lot of it has to do with remote functions (AWS lambda etc) being very slow with such a heavy standard library and the runtime startup.

It's a mistake. As is the lemming-like rush toward remote functions for everything. Everywhere I go I see people hacking on the Lambda execution meta to improve initial start times--and eventually giving up--because the PM doesn't like a slight random delay. PM keeps complaining.
