Many things you don't know are Java are and they are VERY widely used.
Java simply wont go away because it works.
For serverside it's a nobrainer, but also for client if you have a niche consumer base.
Average joes don't understand the overhead of writing native applications and they are paying for it without knowing.
Here is my only contribution to the "desktop" Java eco system: http://move.rupy.se/file/logic.html http://move.rupy.se/file/logic.html

- armchairhacker 5y agoJava is an amazing platform and language. If not Java itself then Kotlin and the JVM. I think it’s underrated and I wish people would bring back web and mobile support so it can be truly cross-platform.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoWeb support... I think there may be WASM compilers for Java, but there's still going to be a lot of overhead. Mobile, there's Android... or did you not realize that's Java?
- kaba0 5y agoThere is TeaVM which runs java byte code as efficient javascript or wasm. But Google also has j2cl which can compile java to very efficient javascript code. As for android, well, let’s just say that android java is not real java.
