You know, libraries. Java as a language is pretty bad but the number of good libraries available is insane. You are not coming anywhere near with other languages with this. Also, many of the big data stack applications have Java as a primary language so the libraries are pusblished as Java libs first. As it was several times on HN people do not only chose languages they chose ecosystems.
- ilovecaching 8y agoAs the world around Java advances, people need libraries for different things. The question is, of all those libraries, how many of them do I actually need, which ones are maintained, and is it worth the cost of Java. Many languages, like Go, have first class seat in cross platform cloud and containerization that is hard to beat.
