Most FLOSS developers do/have run away from Java as fast as possible, from what I can gather. The language itself isn't terrible (arguably). How many companies that use Java use it because of legacy code or because of crusty old senior developers who insist on using it since they learned it back in the good ol' days when it was under Sun?
- scarface74 8y agoI’m one of those crusty old developers, but with C# not Java. But I see the writing on the wall that while there are still new implementations and companies wanting .Net, all of the cool kids are doing Node. Even with developers who are doing .Net, hopefully they are smart enough to be slowly moving away from .Net framework to .Net Core. As I’ve gotten more into cloud, I’m seeing how much of a burden it is to stick with Windows - it’s more resource intensive, more expensive licensing and less well supported.
- megaman22 8y agoI will never bail from .net to node. It'd be like cutting off my nose to spite my face. Javascript, and the ecosystem around it is so bad, I don't have words to describe it.
- scarface74 8y agoI agree completely. I hate everything about the JavaScript ecosystem but like Kosh said, “once the avalanche has started, it’s too late for the pebbles to vote.” I need JavaScript in my back pocket just to stay relevant.
