Java is quite popular, so it's easy to go back. But try C# out. It's years ahead of Java in performance, features, and syntax quality.

I've been doing .NET for years and had to spin up a Java Spring Boot app and it was so painful compared to .NET (esp maven/gradle vs nuget).

I love C# the language and used it from 2008-2020. But C# is tied to the boring enterprisey Microsoft shops.

Yes I know C# is cross platform and I got my start working with AWS deploying C# apps in Linux runtime environments in both Lambda and ECS/Docker/Fargate.

To a first approximation no one chooses .Net for green field projects except for old school MS shops.
