Tell HN: I kinda want to go back to Java

I left Java behind after using it for 20 years around 2018 or so. I've been using Python, Typescript since. I think Python has made huge strides in recent times... but now with LLMs and Agentic programming - I feel like Java would absolutely be worth it again. Python helped us invent LLMs - it's quite possible if it didn't exist we would never had invented them. But my life has always been in systems, backends, etc.. Java was too verbose. Too many things to NAME. Now, agents can name shit for us. I feel like the verbosity would be absolutely worth it now - and put this compressed code life in Python behind me. Anyone else feel this way, or are you Go/Rust/Python 4 life now? I'm only hoping to discuss this with ex-Java's.
