Yeah as a developer/programmer - I always have this feeling that I should go into all native code like using c++, d, f, rust, crystal, nim, v, zig ( this is my choice as of now ) - just to get that last drop of hardware juice. I was also looking into luajit as it can have easy ffi and near native performance.

I still think Java has a lot of value to bring or to learn and use for any programmer.

The ecosystem of libraries, software, tooling, cross platform nature and with the advent of GraalVM - Java is still very alive and capable !

As for JVM guys - Kotlin seems be an easy migration.

BTW - what do you think about dart ?
