I'm glad they saw the light. Last time I used Java was in high school when it was version 7, when it was pure OOP. Didn't even have lambdas. After I learned other languages, I didn't want to use Java again, seemed like a lot of boilerplate for something that didn't even give good performance.

I use Java all the time for ordinary programming at work, I think it is great, but I'm not in a hurry to mess with stuff off-heap.
Maybe you should check again if the last time you used it was Java 7.
Java has always given good performance for most of my use cases. Like backend servers where startup time is mostly irrelevant.
