I quite like modern java. With spark java, lambdas and all the helpful jars it’s really not a bad language. Plus you get native lucene and almost every other thing you could want is already written
In fact the only thing I wish for with it is fast syntax highlighter in Java like pygments for python or chroma for Go. The pygments/jython implementation is too slow and there is no the else mature out there.
It’s also useful to know career wise. It may not be the new hot thing but it’s likely to be around 20 years from now and a little stability in languages and tools is something to be thankful for.
