JVM as a platform is doing just fine, but other JVM languages seem to be taking over Java’s territory:
1. Kotlin replaced Java for Android development
2. Scala has become the primary language for some of the major tools in the data stack - spark, kafka etc
I’m sure there are other examples as well
- pjmlp 6y agoJava is going away from JVM as much as UNIX is loosing C. 1. Politics due to how Google screwed Sun with Android Java 2. Scala is a tiny dot on JVM world and it remains to be seen how Scala 3.0 will be taken up, specially if Python like syntax is actually adopted
- reader_mode 6y agoWell UNIX (or Linux more importantly) is "losing" C, C++ and more recently Rust are slowly displacing it. It's still probably going to be the ABI everything is based on but the language itself is not a first choice for many and that number is increasing over time. Is that what you were implying ? It doesn't sound like it from the rest of the comment because you seem to disagree that Java is losing mindshare on JVM.
