- pstuart 7y agoWell, it does run on the client and the server, which was the promise of Java in ye olde days.
- threeseed 7y agoJava, Kotlin and Scala can all compile to Javascript and hence can run on the client and server as well. For example this is written in Scala.JS: https://scalafiddle.io https://scalafiddle.io But that is irrelevant since enterprises don't care about SPAs and so are fine using standard web frameworks like Play, Dropwizard or Tomcat.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoThere's also something to be said for real type safety and high performance numerics for which Javascript has to be twisted to achieve part way.
