  With any luck Java will go away as well.
  • pritambarhate 3y ago
    May be not in start ups but in enterprise Java usage is increasing only.
  • marginalia_nu 3y ago
    Java is very much in ascendence.

      Even if there weren't any technical reasons not to use Java or better alternatives, the elephant (or lawnmower) in the room is Oracle.

        C# is pretty good, but Visual Studio dependence is a crutch.
        • oaiey 3y ago
          There is no Visual Studio dependency. The VS Code / editor experience is on par with most other languages and Rider is surely more than capable JetBrains based alternative
          • jahsome 3y ago
            I meant developer dependence, not language dependence. I recognize visual studio isn't required, but in the wild, the vast majority of C# devs I work with never leave VS.

              I think that adjusted a lot the last two years. Especially in the mixed spaces (web devs) JetBrains is very strong.

        Oracle's actually been a really good steward of Java, besides it's open source.

  So, what’s your alternative? Python with its god-awful package management situation? Node with its „here’s a bazillion libraries for the same thing, good luck figuring out how to combine them“? Ruby with its 90ies-grade performance?

    My dream is to be able to write everything in CSS. That would be my language of choice.
    • 9dev 3y ago
      I'm pretty sure it's Turing-complete in at least five different ways now, so go ahead proudly and don't let anyone talk you down!
    • pwdisswordfishc 3y ago
      Because it’s Turing-complete, unlike Python?
