> Java has had decades and millions of dollars poured into its ecosystem to allow the very good IDE experience that we have nowadays

A trillion-dollar company cannot create an IDE on par with JetBrains which has 1200 employees, 250 M revenue, and and has not one, but several IDEs and plugins for several languages (including dynamic languages, including support for multiple versions of a language, including multiple versions of runtimes for a language) that are superior to Apple's one single IDE for two languages.

It's not a "millions into Java" problem. It's an Apple problem.
