I still have Java on just over 1k enterprise devices, its dead?
- voakbasda 10mo agoMore like a zombie. It is still shuffling along, but the life left it long ago.
- swarnie 10mo agoI'm going to take this as the HN effect, if something isn't doing 500% a year its dead.
- vkou 10mo agoJava's not gone anywhere, but it's been years since I've interviewed anyone who has made it their language of choice. Developer sentiment for it isn't exactly great. A decade ago, a good ~80% of applicants chose to use it or C#. I personally don't have any issues with working with it, but nobody's learning it outside of work. On the other hand, it is quite easy to learn, so there's that going for it.
