I recently started a green field project with sprint boot and Kotlin and it’s a joy compared to the many other things I’ve experienced in the last decade. I’m hoping spring remains strong for a while.

To me, it’s not “should I use Spring” but why not? Most frameworks of the same class crudely ape the format. Then the open-source ecosystem of most languages is a ghetto compared to that of Java.

I hate not using it at work but rather Node all the while watching Typescript libraries reinvent the Spring wheel.

.NET is also quite comparable.

Hence when I am not using one, I am doing the other, sometimes with a bit of C++ underneath, unless forced to use another programming stack due to external decisions.

It has worked quite alright for almost 30 years now.
