Java really isn't fast unless you're basically writing C style Java. Abstracting is expensive in Java and if one can't abstract, what's the point of writing Java in 2026? After all these years value types aka Valhalla are still in a soon™ state. If it weren't for Project Loom, which is genuinely awesome, I wouldn’t see any justification for using Java in this day and age.

The world has shown that it doesn't need all those intricate design patterns that java fosters.

It does seem like java missed their chance, it's a shame.
