These arguments unfortunately fail flat in front of industrial use. AWS could be considered "critical" by most metrics and what is is it written in? Java
I really don’t like the argument calling “industrial usage” just because a main company or FAANG aren’t using the tech stack, but arbitrary under the hood are doing basically the same stuff with internal toolings that should be entirely under the language features, not under a system design library.
But your take about modern Java is correctly, and they adopt this style under internal projects for some workflows.
