We don't use Java. Java is old, of course it has plenty of tooling, but it also has a mountain of negatives in it's own right, besides the fact that it's not suitable for systems level work.

I guess it is a matter of what kind of systems one is developing, given its use in embedded platforms.
You switched from C++ to Rust and don't use Java because Java is old.

You've made at least one person's mood a little lighter today. Thank you.

You misread. Java being old is counted as a positive here; Java is old, so it has plenty of tooling, is the message. Despite this, they are not using Java :)
