Never is a long time. Java is in a strange, precarious situation already, and JavaScript won't last forever as the only option for client-side scripting. It'll slowly fade from relevance once there's a better option.

- chii 14y agoJava is in no way in a precarious situation! its one of the most popular enterprise language. Just because the cool kids these days think java is lame because they've got their ruby and node.js, doesn't mean java is dying at all. And i m saying this even tho i dislike oracle.
