Title: Debunking Java's Dark Secret: Is it Really Slow?

Hey guys, I've been working with Java for years and I've always felt the need to defend it against claims of it being slow. Some people say it's because of the JVM (just-in-time compiler) overhead, while others blame the garbage collection. Can we put these misconceptions to rest and show the world what Java can really do?

"TBH, I think people are being a bit harsh on Java. I've worked with it on some projects and while it's not the fastest, it's definitely reliable and scalable. For a lot of use cases, that's more important than raw speed."

"I've personally worked with Java for years and haven't seen it as a bottleneck in most cases. I think some of the 'slow' reputation comes from outdated libraries and frameworks, which can be easily replaced with modern alternatives. It's still one of the most widely used languages for a reason."
