I don't get it when people say Java will be less popular. Today it is in most cases, my platform of choice. Modern Java is a damn fun development environment. You just need the right tools like Maven, IntelliJ Idea, Spring Loaded and so on.
- danieldk 12y agoI have written a lot of Java the last 2-3 years, with Maven, IntelliJ, and Dropwizard. This after years of C++, Prolog, and Haskell. Fun is not exactly the predicate I would attach to modern Java. Of course, this is all subjective. But I can barely imagine that people coming from more expressive statically typed languages would like Java very much. (That's not to say that the tooling for Java isn't extremely good.)
