Docker (originally written in Java until Go advocates took over), and k8s are what made it popular.

Now it is kind of unavoidable in DevOps space for some cenarios.

My only complaint is their approach to language design.

Inferno with Limbo, Android, Windows Phone, show that there is GC hate, and shipping products to millions of users.

If Docker was in Java it would have been still born / Java universe only.

I don't get the GC hate. If its done properly (like Go) its invisible for 99% of applications and dramatically simplifies things like business logic that don't need to be that complicated or fast.

The real culprit is usually Java's slow startup and memory bloat from the JVM.

Nah, that is what anti-Java folks wish for.

Java is so bad that Kubernetes + WASM containers is basically redoing application servers 20 years later.
