Billion-dollar-exception Memes

Someone told Minecraft "Java is no good for games" and Minecraft just sat there like "yeah cool story bro" before casually becoming one of the best-selling video games of all time with over 300 million copies sold. Written entirely in Java. The ultimate counter-argument to every "Java is too slow for game development" take. Nothing quite destroys a programming hot take like a billion-dollar game that runs on the JVM. Sure, Minecraft might eat RAM like it's going out of style and the garbage collector occasionally has a seizure, but when you're printing money faster than the Fed, performance concerns become... optional.
