The whole application is built with Gradle.

The backend uses Spring MVC to expose RESTful endpoints, and uses JPA to access a PostgreSQL database. We started this project as a traditional Spring Boot Java backend, with an Angular frontend. Decompiling from Bytecode is, unfortunately, not working (always full of red errors).Cyril and Agnès already told you about our side project for Globe 42, a local non-profit organization which helps old migrants in Saint-Etienne. I do not readable Java code, I only need working ones to deal with them. As participants, I and other students must follow the rule and continue working in Java, then when we graduate and get old, we will see no reason switching to a new technology, then the cycle repeats. The organizers are great people but they are also old people who are unwilling to change to a new technology. Even seeing mixed codes and the over complicated maven pom files makes my boss uncomfortable.Īnother reason is that there are many AI research competitions (GVGAI for example) whose requirement is Java. The team leaders are very open-minded, so they allowed us to use in a new project, but for the existing projects, we still MUST use Java. Like in my team, our code base is completely in Java and the leader and vice-leader have no intention of moving to Kotlin, but I and my colleague, the younger members, both learn Kotlin ourselves and want to tried it.

I think the biggest reason I have found so far is that in any team, there always exist rebellious members who always wanted to tried something new.
