Discussion on: Java 15 in 2020: Reasons to *not* use Java?

As someone who started out as a Java Developer and considers himself a polyglot developer now, I would still use Java for the following

• Web apps server-side
• Microservices where memory/overall footprint is not a priority
• On any given day over Scala/Clojure for applicable use cases :P

Where I would not use Java is

• Client-side desktop, I know JavaFX is better now but still, there are many other better cross-platform alternatives like Electron etc IMO
• Client-side web: no way
• CLI tools, again I know you can do it but I cannot justify it when NodeJS, Go, and even Rust is a much better option for that
• Web assembly
• Mobile (not counting Kotlin for Android)
