I don't think you're wrong, but you're making this sound like it an issue with the JVM. It's certainly not. I guess it could be an issue with the Java language, but I don't really think so.
Mostly it's an issue with the Java ecosystem.
But still agree with the other commenter on the benefits of go. I’m not a huge fan of go, but it’s definitely encourages grug brain style (https://grugbrain.dev/) which has many benefits.
In fact, the only time I disagree with grug style is when I’m really close to the perfect generics for a TS function with lots of coupled inputs. Always so close…
