Interesting read! Thank you for sharing.

I´ve gained quite a bit of experience with the Java programming language, and very much agree with the accusation that its ecosystem is full of weird choices. Thank you, Mark Rheinhold, I guess. And because of those, other things that got made available got made weird too.

Seeing these benchmarks helps a lot and is quite refreshing: over on Medium, many a content writer regurgitates the same old "tips" without ever providing any benchmarks as proof, thus causing us to believe in fairy tales or continuing traditions for tradition sake, rather than for the benefit of an application.

Thank you for picking an article that includes benchmarks. That is worth repeating.
