On the Future of Akka and Lightbend
It’s a shame that the Play framework is being abandoned. v1 had a lot of great ideas, but v2 kind of jumped off the cliff into Scala lala-land, where it got lost in the weeds. It never really recovered.
If you’re looking for a straightforward Java framework similar to Play v1 check out Ninja:
https://www.ninjaframework.org/
For me at least, it hits a sweet spot of enabling fast productive development and maintainable code.

Anything close beam/otp for other languages?
I really like Eclipse Vert.x... As both an Erlang dev and Java dev, it's a great synergy and soon to have support for Virtual Threads similar to BEAM.

Go doesn’t do any magical stuff and I love that
There are many lean, popular, non-magical libraries in Java land. (https://quarkus.io/, https://vertx.io/, etc). Spring is a monster 😱. Its like comparing Kubernetes (written in Go) with some lean framework in another lang.
