When I started my career in software development, SDE, and soon advanced to SRE, I hated Java. The extreme OOP paradigm made enterprise class situations impossible to understand. But after a few short years, I began to appreciate it as a real, battle hardened ecology. Now, I consider it much better than modern trends such as Rust and Python.
These kinds of niche optimizations are still significant. The OOP model allows them to be implemented with much less fanfare. This is in the context of billion-dollar platforms. With some basic performance testing and API replays, we're saving thousands of dollars a day. Nobody gets a pat on the back. Maybe some pizza on Friday.
