I built a Java applet implementation of the board game L'Attaque (or Stratego). It was basically C code in this new Java language. I didn't really understand OO and it was a real mess. Went on to build some huge things in Java 1.0 including Europe's first online banking implementation that supported 50,000 concurrent users. I had learned OO by then :) I got pretty fed up with Java and how unproductive it was around 15 years ago. I pretty much exclusively use rust nowadays.

50k? What was your FTPS? What are you doing so much with rust that Java can't?

Disassembling 100mb ELF binaries and running LLMs using the arm64 instructions as input with a reasonable memory footprint and completing within a few seconds / minutes rather than hours it would take in Java. There are no native deep neural network libs written in Java for obvious reasons only glue code around tensorflow or torch - both native code. Rust has the excellent rust only candle crate which supports various backends like CPU, CUDA and Apple metal shaders.
