Quite surprised by the negativity towards Java in this thread about Sublinks, a Java-based Lemmy alternative. Is it that bad? (programming.dev)

Hello everyone, I've followed this thread yesterday and noticed a few very negative reactions towards the choice of Java. I follow Java evolution from far away, but it seemed like it was evolving in a good direction since the last few years, and that performance-wise it would make sense for the back-end of a Lemmy-like platform.

Is it indeed the case? I was just curious to see that much negativity towards one of the most popular languages.

"Java bad" is a pretty long standing meme. I would guess that most peoples' only experiences with java are in school and in monstrous, ancient corporate codebases.

I guess. I learned a few things though, so it seems that new version of Java are optimized so that their footprint is similar to Go? That seems a nice improvement from a few years back
