Java has reached the status of Cobol - it is immortal because it is everywhere and has been around a long time.

Because of that, there are a lot of Java devs.

Our team works in Go, and so we get a few Java devs in once in a while as new positions open up. The biggest change for them is to get out of archonaut mode and stop overdesigning everything. After going through a 3-6 month cleanse, it's fun to see them complain about the legacy Java stuff and how overly complicated it is and how slow it is to build and test compared to Go.
