I think you're seriously underestimating the amount of enterprise software running on Java for decades now. Not only it's not going away, but the language itself and its ecosystem are evolving. Slowly, but in the domain of programming languages that are actually being widely used slow progress is a good thing.
- socceroos 9y agoAnecdotally, I remember similar comments to this when the tide was shifting away from PHP.
- athenot 9y agoI'm no defensor of Java but PHP was never entrenched in Enterprise the way Java is. It's "good enough" for most business uses who treat software as a comodity and outsource to multiple vendors.
- jjrh 9y agoGonna second this - as much as I dislike Java there are a enormous number of very stable and mature projects in both the opensource and commercial/enterprise world. Many times there isn't even a alternative.
