A bit late to the discussion but just read the post. A bit on the silly side really. I used Java for 7 years and then switched to dotnet core, and now using dotnet core 3.1 . There is nothing about the Java world that I miss. Nuget, Visual Studio, async/await, String/Stream/File library, they are all much better and less hacky. Above all I don't have to freaking worry about using a web framework like spring boot or some other latest java microservice framework. Dotnet core has it for me and it has a built in server out of the box. The developers of the language provide that for me making my life as a developer that much easier. I run dotnet core azure functions on linux boxes..

Biggest problem with Java is that Oracle bought it. Google should have bought it since it is a true and true engineering company and couldn't have made it better. Instead Oracle is simply slowly killing Java and instead other jvm languages will take over and dotnet core will be a serious threat.
