Whenever someone shares a performance comparison Java rank up very high. -- Gunnar Morling

October 19, 2025

🚀 Java’s performance is wildly underrated.

The JVM isn’t just “old enterprise tech” — it’s a high-performance powerhouse with world-class JITs, GC, and tooling.

👉 “Whenever someone shares a performance comparison of programming languages, there's so many folks surprised to see #Java rank up very high. I think by now it's kinda criminal how underrated Java and the JVM are in circles not familiar with it. This widespread misconception really is the biggest challenge for this platform.” -- Gunnar Morling, Java champion

If you still think Java is slow, you’re probably remembering Java from decades ago—not the modern JVM. 🔥

Real wins: throughput, latency tuning, profilers (JFR/JMC), and rock-solid tooling at scale.
