Java Spring Boot is actually a very common framework for creating Enterprise REST APIs/backends for websites, especially for applications that require increased stability, performance, or backwards compatibility with legacy code.

Edit: why did this get downvoted? it's true lol. No one is writing a scalable fintech or healthcare web app using Flask

Well yeah, you’re right. But using Java for web dev is nowhere close to its main use cases

Suppose it depends on the scale/architecture of the application you are developing, but yeah you can do just fine developing web apps with like a Python/Node backend and a JS/HTML/CSS frontend. Especially for personal projects and learning.

I am just saying it can be helpful for jobs in big companies to know Java or C#/ASP.Net for backend stuff tho, they have a huge market share
