Modernization is such a moving target - already out of date points on Reactive Spring since the Project Loom announcements :D

when changing costs more than recreating ...

And yet, still nothing people ask for, like async/await, dynamic use of CPU threads for tasks, tail recursion for the functional-minded folks, better package management tools, less overhead for serverless, etc., etc. Java seems like programming with a quill and ink compared to other languages now. The only people who have done anything positive are Microsoft, by providing a better IDE, despite the language stagnation.
