The article isn't about Java dying. It's about the author's gripe with Spring. Undoubtedly, 10 to 15 years ago he'd write and article about how Java is dying because Struts. 20 years ago it would be an article about how it's dying because there's nothing to compete with the new kids on the block in the web space. Java isn't going anywhere. It will probably slowly lose its significance over a few years, but it will be a decade or so before it will actually start dying (if at all).
