Yea, there is still huge money in "legacy" languages like COBOL. There is plenty of financial sector software out there on COBOL that still works fine and is simply so massive after 30 years of development that rewriting it has never been successful. Luckily, I think most of us Java devs have had the benefit of the shift towards a more polyglot style during the last several years. I think our generation of developers, if you can call it that, are more capable of weathering the storm; ultimately, we will be fine if Java dies.
