Congratulations Java Fan on missing BOTH the smily-face at the end of the first phrase AND the "More seriously though" at the start of the second.

I'm glad someone still loves Java though. ;)

P.S. The kubernetes reference was – since that one appears to have gone over the top of your head too – that in todays world Kubernetes is extraordinarily popular and therefore it is likely most people now hide the complexities of Java deployment into a container that is magically generated and deployed through CI/CD. Hence I was inferring that life is probably "easier" today with Java because you just deploy the magical container.

Congratulations for posting your humorous hot takes on something you haven't touched in 10-15 years.
