I thought so too until I got to interact with databases and Big Data tools written in Java. God, what a mess that requires so much upkeeping, more dependency problems than I remember from C++ and probably some orders of magnitude more resources than they should.

Doing code review for C++ code delivered by most well know offshoring companies, versus what they deliver in Java, will help get another point of view.
Thankfully LLMs are becoming a viable, cost-effective, option for stuffing your favorite offshored codebase with even more unmaintainable spaghetti. What a time to be alive.
