Agree, Java also had straight single file execution forever now. Java foo.java. I use it instead of scripts all the time. Solid language with a lot of flexibility, Oracle has done a good job in last few years. Newer Java frameworks are fairly easy and light to use. We have natively image Lambda functions in production. Work well.

Great engineering. Elegant solution while solving the general case - usually these avoid the general case

Quarkus and Micronaut. Spring replacements almost. Backed by commercial companies and strong dev teams

Super light frameworks, more http focused, Kotor and Javelin

Spring itself had a major overhaul recently

Co-routines .. that's a useful pattern Go did out of the box. Fast startup .. important for containers and auto-scaling

Co-routines have been in Kotlin for a while, got added to Java (Project loom) recently. Same for startup time. Native image support in Project Leyden

Java has been improving pretty fast and is starting to close the gap in spots where it's been seen weaker to Go etc. Fact still remains that it has excellent lib ecosystem, tooling, observability and large code bases with multiple teams are much easier managed in static languages. At this point most of the downsides are from legacy frameworks. A modern framework + Kotlin is very productive.

All these people were happy to facilitate the destruction of society and spread fake news. I have no sympathy.

The pandemic seems to be exposing the wealth inequality, which I think is the root issue here. The haves have even more and the nots bore the brunt. Judging by protests, approaching breaking point

Exactly, this is the same thing. Hindu nationalist govt controlling media narrative.

Nope, complete propaganda by the Indian govt. I have family there so I can confirm. The Indian media is completely sold out to the govt and will only present highly selected and curated pictures. Social media is where they can't control the narrative. The Indian govt unleash sate sanctioned mobs on these protestors, desperate resort to break up the protest. Now they had to ensure that the truth stays under wraps. Hence, cut off internet.

Time to move past arm chair theories. We are facing a armed threat to the country. Any outlet promoting or allowing promotion of fictional narratives need to be muzzled .. at least temporarily until we have a transition of power. Then we can start sorting out the mess.
