I was a diehard java fanboy but using Rust in the last 5 years more and more I have to agree, but sadly huge Java corporate codebases keep my bills paid still, so I have to deal with it. It is what it is. Also agree the pipeline etc. they love all the waste of the compute in their pocket.

I code on both and they are just for different purposes. E.g. I think it's madness to develop desktop apps in Rust.

Development velocity is way greater in Java.

I hope AI will make automated translation of such legacy codebases into any favourite langauge possible in future. Fingers crossed.

It sounds like you're not into Java. Perhaps consider switching languages to make room for people who are.
