I think you will find Java less often among startups because initial development can take longer, and startups are often strapped for cash. Some companies eventually switch to the JVM (Java, Scala, etc.) for performance reasons, and many don't. I personally have never worked as a Java developer, so take this with many grains of salt.
- mastermind1981 11y agoI agree with you. I think may be the time to market using other technologies than java may be lower. But is there a substantial difference in productivity using Python/Node.js / ROR over Java?
- davelnewton 11y agoThat totally depends on a number of factors. I'm more productive in RoR than in Java because I don't have to type as much--but I'm not that familiar with the newer Java web technologies, so I'm biased. Hugely more productive? Probably not; modern Java web development is pretty speedy, and the tooling (primarily IDEs) are better for Java because of its relatively static nature.
