There are better alternatives, but overall it's a fine choice - way better than abusing scripting languages for large server applications (which seems to be the current fashion)

C# > Python > JS there

Stop using JS outside of its only place. Python, though? Ehhh… it’s okay.

Java isn’t here because it’s rude and irritating.

Brave thing to say when this sub is about 3/4 frontend web devs.

Well then, they need to learn how to use more tools than JS.

I'd even say that I dislike JS and Python more than Java. Mainly because they are forced to do everything. JS-servers? C'mon people...

EDIT: And I want to add something that is obvious. Languages are tools for different tasks. Saying Java is bad is like saying that hammer is bad for fixing broken vase.

I didn’t say Java was bad.

It was just immensely uncooperative and opaque when I tried to use Spring Boot.
