My biggest gripe with Java is the only really viable IDE option is from a for-profit company and that it routinely gobbles up my RAM. I used Eclipse and Netbeans back in the day but IntelliJ is superior before it becomes unusable.
Works well on my old Intel 2020 Macbook Pro. Having no dependencies meant I was able to just clone the repo and build (as long as you have the C++ tooling). There's something magical about how simple it is without having to jump through hoops getting your dependencies resolved.
