Ah yes, it will die just like C++. Backwards compatibility focus languages are the only ones that live long enough to be old and encumbered.

- Spivak 9y agoOh no, I'm not implying that Java or C++ will ever die, they'll probably outlive me. I'm only saying that by bolting on new features Java will get progressively harder to program in by anyone who doesn't already program in Java. This is good for Java programmers because it means big bucks for being the only devs that can maintain huge legacy systems, but bad because fewer people will write new code in Java.
