For me, Java and MySQL kind of died* when they became an Oracle thing. I just don’t want to go near anything that Oracle touches.
The other thing is that I tend to write little programs where simple deployment on a low-resource machine is desirable.
Go can handle that. Java kind of does the job with Graal now.
The JVM is incredible, though, and I love Clojure. I’m hoping that Loom + Graal helps to kickstart more competition in the “concurrent, parallel, simple to deploy” space.
* Died to me; obviously they’re both alive and well in the broad world.
