Was 2010 last time you used Java? All these things were addresses in lat 5 releases. I like Java for:

* stability

* fast to run code

* fast to write code

* mature libraries

* good access to many good programmers (bad programmers write bad code which runs slow, is run slow and is read slow)

Try Java13 with modern GC (ZGC or Shenandoah) or GraalVM. It's really fun, fast, modern. 4 years ago I was into Kotlin and Go, this year I'm back on Java.
