This paragraph should really be right in the beginning of the post, instead of in the conclusion.

Not to mention Sun's failure with their java based OS and its own eventual collapse. https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB891383840659892000 https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB891383840659892000 Java is still a major language worth learning, but yeah, it never lived up to its hype. When I was young, I remember asking in one of the forums whether I should learn Java or C#, perl or python. The answers were overwhelmingly java and perl. So java and perl were the first two languages I learned on my own. No regrets, but man the internet at the turn of the century/millenia really got that spectacularly wrong.
