If we are living in a simulation written in Java, the speed of light should be slower haha,(reply>), @Eridanus Supervoid eh gc isn't that bad . Go is pretty nimble and fast , plus concrurency is dummy ez . Docker uses go . Imo It strikes a perfect balance of productive , not as much as nodejs maybe and performant.,(reply>), Java isn't slow on runtime . Given all the stuff it provides you with and how mature it's been ,it's actually a pretty fast language run time . Now the reason why it's slow is because of the way most packages work in Java ... Through refection based annotations . The biggest offender imo is spring boot. <br><br>That framework is basically , if you keep throwing enough annotations at it ... Itll eventually work,(reply>), Shots fired 🤣,(reply>), That's exactly why the speed of light isn't instantaneous,(reply>), Дмитрий Пятков and that is why black wholes exist, the GC triggers singularities
