This article pretends that libraries such as Spring, Lombok, Guava and maven/gradle don't exist. It would be like saying Javascript is useless because the features that Angular/React/Vue provide aren't provided in the core syntax.

There are good reasons to move into something like Kotlin but the author has barely touched on any of them. "Java is old" also makes the author sound like they ditch programming languages that aren't currently trending on Twitter or something.
