I'd like to mention the web framework I'm using these days, Jooby: https://jooby.io/ I've found it quite satisfying compared to the other "new" ones. As for the original topic, I just want to echo what others have said, and say that I am happiest in Java when writing it as if it were Golang code. That an the first-class runtime and performance and deep ecosystem make it a great choice in 2026.
Helidon SE (https://helidon.io/#se) or Javalin (https://javalin.io/) would be more in that vein - straight-forward modern Java, super fast.
“Quarkus isn't too bad either”
“There is quarkus, helidon and micronaut for slimmer more modern backend frameworks.”
“Pretty pleasant experience to get the whole stack spun up and observable alongside the dev server”
“via Quarkus' bytecode recording machinery”
“learning about quarkus, microprofile, and jakarta data would be valuable”
“I work with Quarkus[2] and Java 25 LTS (just recently released) services deployed on AWS EKS and we are very happy with the performance”
