I’m OP’s defense, I have to say that most people in this community have a very distorted view of what a modern Java app looks like. Much of the perception dates back from before the Java 8 era. Anyone who’s remotely had anything to do with the language in recent years, would know that the ecosystem has made serious steps to modernize. While you still see these old and bulky apps around, there is absolutely no reason to repeat past mistakes, and https://quarkus.io/ is a testament to that.

This is the same situation I saw 20 years ago. Back then, all the managers were pushing development in Oracle tools. Those managers grew up on Oracle and Java was too modern for them. Now the situation is similar. Managers used to do things in Java and now they are still pushing Java. In fact, today Java brings nothing but problems. When I see a new project starting on Java it is always some big desperation. For a comparison of Java and Go, just look at the documentation for SQL. For go: https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql (31 pages) and maybe https://jmoiron.github.io/sqlx/ (12 pages). In Java only one class is 59 pages (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSet.html) and look how many of those documents there are: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/13/docs/api/java.sql/java/sql/package-summary.html and on top of that we have javax.sql - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/sql/package-summary.html And even then you use Hibernate for example, where the documentation has 11 manuals and of those the User Guide has 353 pages - https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/6.2/userguide/html\_single/Hibernate\_User\_Guide.html

I assume you’re already aware of https://serviceweaver.dev/ Someone’s got to do it, so let that be Google.
