Apart from the language part , i am super excited about trying storm-2.0. In many ways the buzz in the ecosystem has been that storm was dead!. We run lot of prod workloads on storm and spark , storm has worked like a wonderful workhorse without quirks. The ecosystem has moved on , but i think storm may still continue having loyalists!

Just ouf of curiosity, what tools are people using instead of Storm?

Flink is a strong competitor. Spark itself also claims to be a runner up with minibatching.

But streaming model is more widely adopted outside of frameworks. AWS Lambda or Fass platform can be viewed as streaming model with simple topology.

Flink is popular. I believe Samza also fills a similar niche.

There's also Kafka Streams which is suitable for many cases that do not warrant a full cluster with all the management and trouble required.

I thought Heron was the Storm follow-up. I'm surprised to see a Storm 2.0.
