For sure it may, but I wonder how many of those decisions will be regretted? Java is a fast portable language with a decent type system and a bevy of time tested libraries. It certainly isn't perfect, but modern Java is a decent development environment (and this comes from a Rubyist). I suspect only Go can match its speed, productivity, and safety.
- wilsonnb3 8y agoI would bet that C# can match or exceed Java’s speed, productivity, and safety as well.
- ben-schaaf 8y agoWhy choose Java when you can pick from the more modern languages that also run on the JVM: Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, etc. You get all the advantages of speed and libraries without the imo bad language design.
