QT is used a lot in Embedded systems. Years ago, I used to write software for medical devices which used QT, and those were supported in the wild for 10 years. I think its also popular in cars and stuff nowadays.

+1 for spring boot. I dont use the rest repositories/hateos stuff much. But mvc/data/security, are solid. The netflix cloud stuff is really nice too, for circuit breaking/routing/discovery.
