  I'm not a Java person, but I'm curious how fast it is nowadays, and also the startup time. Can it be used to write shell commands with, for example?

    Very fast. And yes, it can be used for small apps too. With java problem now is not the performance but how verbose still it is. However, it's much better since Java 17 and each release make it even more compact and direct. Like in this release we got much better built-in support for JSON.

    I'm using JDK 21 (old) and the startup time is sub-second for small programs.

      That’s not the flex you seem to think

        It wasn't meant to be a flex.

    Every time I try, I keep going back to .NET, which has been optimising for faster startup time.

    Almost all Java benchmarks are for the "steady state" after half an hour of warm up time.

      Doesn't Java have an AOT solution too? Is it not ready for prime time?

        It is, but people like to bash Java ;)
