alt Hacker NewsOnce i heard a manager explain "we must get rid of anything Oracle, including Java, because of license reasons". I see this attitude everywhere since.
JavaScript people are too afraid to use Java, that is why something like TypeScript exists.
And for personal projects, C# has become a better and more fun "just works" platform.
I wouldn't count myself as a JavaScript person at all, and usually avoid it where I can, going to some length, to make pages static, if possible. So I am not exactly in the group of people you are attacking.
However, I am afraid of the Java coder who is decorated as senior, has sway due to their position, and who will tell me, that something, that is a simple function, shall not be a simple public static "method", but must be wrapped in yet another object, which I need to instantiate, because OOP, and because obviously I don't know what I am doing, or because it doesn't fit existing "coding practices/style" or "Java style". I am afraid of the Java coder, who for years has not touched anything but Java, because their jobs didn't require anything else, because so many companies want Java. I am afraid of the one who throws around jargon like "dependency injection" all day, without ever using simple terms, or realizing what those things are looking like in another paradigm.
Lord, please save me from ever having to work with such obnoxious and uninformed, learning resistant people. This actually may be a straw man, but even one such character matching one or more of those traits, seated above at the seniority ladder will make a mess, that everyone else has to live with.
