It would have worked out fine if we managed to lose the prototypes without ramming classes into the language and baiting all the Java dickheads over to the web ecosystem.

Javascript breathed it's last breath the moment someone saw NestJS and said "wow that's a good idea".

I still don’t understand how someone looked at Spring and thought “Wow, that’s pretty good! I’ll bring it to platform that has worse performance than Java, to language that was designed with dynamicity in mind and has no native static typing”.


Asking out of curiosity. What's your rationale behind Spring is slower? Worked on couple of greenfield and existing Spring Boot applications and we never had any performance issues caused by Spring. Spring has its own bad parts but calling that it has worse performance than Java is not one of them. Its not even a valid comparison. Java is crazy fast for a VM based runtime AFAIK.


Java is faster than Node.

You take slow framework, like Spring, and put it on slower runtime (Node) so you get double slow with less benefits.
