And using AWS that has most services written in Java.
Java improved a lot in the last few years and it’s not going anywhere.
- wernercd 3y agoJava, COBOL, C#, JavaScript, etc... all tech that's not "sexy" but are the backbones. Even dead languages like COBOL aren't dead. These techs are the tech that'll be here in 40+ years - or atleast until Skynet rewrites them in binary and we're nuclear ash. I think COBOL will be driving the satellites that monitor the heat death of the universe.
