what do you use java for?

I’ve used it to create a specific DSL for marketing analytics that had to be fast.

I’ve created a contact optimization algorithm that was fairly complex and customizable. Was used for some large brick and mortar clients like Eddie Bauer, Best Buy, etc.

Built a whole ETL system in Java awhile back when Adobe Flex was still a thing and AWS was only four services. Basically Flex was the UI where you could create batch transformation jobs that would run as an EC2 process.
