Sunk Cost Fallacy? Sounds like the fallacy fallacy! [0][1]. Joking aside, that's incredibly misapplied.
More seriously, I'm curious where you work or what parts of the industry you're privy to. It's everywhere from where I'm standing. Tons of companies are built on millions of jvms. LinkedIn, Google, Twitter, Amazon, etc. I know personally but I'm sure every third other tech company in the valley at least too.

- chris_wot 8y agoI'll take your fallacy fallacy and raise you a fallacy fallacy fallacy. Just to remind you, there was an entire industry built around Flash and Silverlight too. The people responding to me seem to think I'm advocating a quick rewrite (whatever that means), but all I'm saying is that from where I stand Java will not last in the long term without serious changes within Oracle. It would be better to have a transition plan now than no transition plan on a dying platform. I was sort of expecting to be flamed, but I can assure you I'm not interested in revealing to flamers where I work...
- haglin 8y agoCurious, what change within Oracle do you want to see? Java is still free, so it can't be that.
