It's hard to write any kind of essays that try to show that X is better than Y in the realm of Programming Language + Platform (yes, Programming Languages these days don't buy much if the Platform is under-supported even though the majority won't admit it).

If you wrote too high-level without enough details, people would call you out for "supporting your argument without any merit".

If you wrote too technical/low-level, it looks like a script kiddie toy and not "for production ready system with complex requirements and multiple stakeholders with evolving needs".

I gave up convincing people a while ago and just focus on get things done. Java, as verbose as it is, still productive enough for me thanks to the ecosystem + tools + libraries + etc.
