Is Java unfashionable yet, I wonder.

• pubby 4y ago
  I figure Java has been unfashionable for 10+ years. The applet boom was a long time ago.

    I wonder if the accelerated pace of features will invert that trend.

  Java is unfashionable since when Ruby on Rails came out. Early 2000.

    Ruby is more fashionable than Java web development. PHP is more fashionable than Ruby. Go is miles more fashionable than PHP. Python is more fashionable than GO. These change as Ruby was way more fashionable than PHP 10 years ago. Golang was way more fashionable over Python 2 years ago. PHP was more fashionable to Python 15 years ago. Java is still fashionable because of android development.

    Hasn't Ruby been unfashionable for a while now?

      Superseded by something else. No surprise there.

  Are you asking if Java is unfashionable enough for it to be seen as a legacy niche- like COBOL or 4GL? Just because it’s out of fashion doesn’t mean isn’t crowded…

  Every enterprise uses Java and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Enterprises pay higher wages than smaller shops.
