Quite surprised by the negativity towards Java in this thread about Sublinks, a Java-based Lemmy alternative. Is it that bad? (programming.dev)

Hello everyone, I've followed this thread yesterday and noticed a few very negative reactions towards the choice of Java. I follow Java evolution from far away, but it seemed like it was evolving in a good direction since the last few years, and that performance-wise it would make sense for the back-end of a Lemmy-like platform.

Is it indeed the case? I was just curious to see that much negativity towards one of the most popular languages.

Just curious, what other languages have had "one dopey teenager" of their community go and deface cppreference.com ? (which by the way happened multiple times with Rust kiddies, not just 4 months ago)

It doesn't really change their point though.
