Hanging out at HN you could be excused for thinking that Java/C# don't exist. It's part of the charm. http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/ind

For every advantage you cite above there's a more interesting blog post to be written using a newer tech or non-JVM language. Or a far simpler blog post that doesn't require "step 1: install Eclipse and Kotlin."
But there are plenty of articles about JVM and .NET stuff.
- excitom 11y agoSimilarly you would think that PHP doesn't exist. Whatever one may think of it, PHP runs the majority of websites (I've seen various estimates in the 80% range).
- paulmd 11y agoThere's a whole lotta CMS, Wiki, and storefront systems out there. And many of the big names there - WordPress, Drupal, MediaWiki, etc - all run on PHP. We tend to live in a world of custom-coded dynamic websites, while many needs can be filled adequately by a static page or off-the-shelf package like the above. They're not sexy, but they work.
