What Hacker News says
4 sourcesHave you tried modern Java development and deployment lately?
It's really not that bad -- projects like https://github.com/puniverse/capsule, Oracle's http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/208 and reference implementation of such JEP, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deploy... have made Java deployment a breeze.
Last, but certainly not least, the state of the art tooling for Java, the world class GC (and advanced ones like G1), the breadth and depth of its incredible ecosystem, the performance monitoring and extension API, the innovative Quasar library (https://github.com/puniverse/quasar) for concurrency alongside the features and additions in Java 8 pretty much make Java a serious contender for new projects.
If you haven't explored modern Java, I suggest you give it another look.
