The problem with Java since Java 8 has never been Java. It's been about the appalling ecosystem that infected it with reflection frameworks. It was bonkers that "POJO" was ever a thing that had to be defined.
It feels like these frameworks are now just falling away, which is great. I'm not even hearing about Spring anymore, and if there is any reason to not use it, it would be this cringe "how do you do fellow kids?" blurb I just saw on their front page:
> Level up your Java™ code
> With Spring Boot in your app, just a few lines of code is all you need to start building services like a boss.
I personally would reach for Go by default, but I have no ill-will to Java.
