The language Java has nothing to do with the JVM. Use OpenJDK (temurin or the likes) instead, although I understand if you don’t have the freedom to do so.

Nonetheless, the suing part is damn stupid.

Java has gotten me lucrative jobs and I make a more than decent living thanks to it. And I bet I am not the only one.

People should stop hating on languages and just use what’s right for the job. I am no fanboy of Java or anything (I program in multiple languages), but saying it should die already is a weird take, IMHO.

Thanks to my experience, and other lead devs leaving the project, I’m sort of “pushed” in this role. I’m not sure if I like it or not. Sure they see value in what I can do, but it’s also more responsibilities and more meetings. I always liked it to go with the flow previously :D

I’ve been trying out Helix as of late. It’s a bit different than vim, but I’m beginning to like it.
