So happy to see Java have broad support from various vendors. I've always been a fan despite it's shortcomings. I'm wary of using "captive" corporate languages like Go, C#, Kotlin. And there aren't any other options with the combination of speed and ease of use for high level work

That support has always been there since around 2000.

Sun, Oracle, BEA, IBM, Excelsior, PTC, Aonix, Aicas, Fujitsu, HP, Nokia, Sony, Azul and to certain extent Apple (for a while it was the Swift of OS X), Microsoft (until J++ venture turned into C#)
