Java is actually good as a programming language and platform. It's actually great for this usecase because it's fast enough, has enough talent pool, and is high level enough to enable creating new complex stuff. Rust and cpp are too low level to enable simple creation of complex stuff. That's why we mostly se rust rewrites and less original ideas. The only problem might be the oracle licensing stuff for such project. I know you're joking tough.

    Good article.

    It has pointed out the Hypermedia systems architecture, HDA and HTMX throughout, but haven't mentioned the name of Hypermedia systems. I think it's a key concept in our path forward and we should emphasize it more.

    I have read the book "Hypermedia systems" and have been building fullstack systems with HTMX and Clojure lately.
    The complexity and cost is much lower than the frontend,backend architecture I was used to with js frameworks.

    1. FOSS. I'm a software engineer and making the world a better place and helping others is why I love my job and what I study. FOSS is the thing that can make tge world a better place and help others.

    I also have a plethora of technical reasons, but I'm sure others will cover them. Just this ideological and philosophical reason is enough for me to be using Linux.
