Java is a shit language. It's best feature is static type safety, and it honestly doesn't do that very well. Then they try to fix the limitations by building these huge, stupid frameworks on top of it. Struts is used everywhere for years despite being shithouse. Then people go "OMG Struts was so bad, let's use Spring instead - it's the best!" except Spring is only good compared to shit like Struts, it's not actually good. It gets worse and worse, actually, encouraging lazy, thoughtless, "automagic" progr

Elixir.
Java Frameworks try to design around the fact that Java as a language is a poor fit for web from the get go.
Go with a language intended for the problem, rather than trying to fit a square peg in a round hole which was thus never going succeed, unless you consider success to be living in denial of Java's unsuitability until eventually the programmer masses point out that the emperor has no clothes so that overnight we all agree Java was a shit choice in the first place.
Java frameworks are polishing a turd. (Score:-1)
