I'm very excited to see what web projects, both big and small, can be accomplished with such a self-contained framework like RIFE2. And we've only scratched the surface! There's a built-in template system, Continuations, and much more. Definitely read the docs if you want to dig deeper into this framework. Also, be sure to thank the framework author, Geert Bevin, for the amount of effort he has put into this!
Despite an incorrect reputation of being "old" and "slow", Java has enjoyed a second wind in recent years thanks to a combination of the Network Effect and the regular but stable release cycles. It used to take forever for new Java releases to arrive, but now we can enjoy regular releases every 6 months and Long-Term Support (LTS) releases every 2 years! Java has also gained higher runtime speed, and projects like GraalVM and CRaC are looking to give Java even more speed.
