My small experience from working with startups was that a LOT of java EE was used. This most likely came from them needing cheap labor, and many programmers fresh from school only knew java. I don't know if those startups qualified as 'cool and exciting' though.
- fecak 13y agoI would guess that your startup experience wasn't all that recent? I'd say Java has been somewhat out of favor with most startups, at least in my area, for at least the past 5-7 years.

Especially if the founder is not from a technical background, I think it is easy for a company to get stuck with programmers that only knows java.
