Not only am I not numb to this, Oracle is now renewing investment on the client. But client side programming does have a clear winner -- JS. Not only Java, but everyone else lost. But whatever Java does, it's clear that no single language is currently on a path to dominance across multiple domains. Java is dominant on the server, JS on the client, and Python in ML and smaller programs. When we compare Java to its historically anomalous dominance in the early oughts, its position today is no doubt worse. But when we compare it to how other languages are doing, no one else seems to be doing much better, and most are doing significantly worse.
