Yes, launching a new server/executable in java is a PITA dur to the JVM warmup (at least it was a few years ago, don't know whether they improved that point or not).

Don't forget that you also have to install and update the JVM. We admins don't like that.

Only those that don't know how to bundle the JVM with the application or make use of a commercial AOT compiler to native code.

[grumpydba]

You prove my point, it requires specific knowledge full of gotchas.

As team lead I consider having the interest to master the tooling part of the job requirements and respective evaluation, not specific knowledge full of gothas.

[pjmlp]

Only for those that don't use a JVM with either AOT compilation or JIT caching.
