Java was literally dying before Google released Android. It was just something you did if you were in university or working on a legacy system. Everyone was moving to Ruby, JavaScript, and C#.
- krzyk 9y agoI don't think so: https://trends.google.pl/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F02wxtgw,%2Fm%2F07sbkfb https://trends.google.pl/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F02... From that you see that interest in Java is slowly declining since 2004, release of Android didn't even move it up a bit.
- oh_teh_meows 9y agoLook again. The downward trend of Java was arrested and it stayed on a plateau when Android began becoming popular; then come 2015 they both came down together. If we're using Google Trends as a proxy for what happened, then I'd say there's some truth to Android saving Java from its decline.
