JavaScript beats Java at number of stackoverflow questions
There are more Javascript related questions on http://stackoverflow.com/tags than Java related!!
- MalcolmDiggs 11y agoWide adoption + low barrier to entry + non-blocking I/O = lots of questions on SO.
- hcho 11y agoIt is more widely deployed and it throws more curve balls. Why are you surprised?
- davelnewton 11y agoDoesn't surprise me at all.
- thorin 11y agoAs above. Once you are reasonably confident with Java you are less likely to have the kind of questions that SO can answer e.g. ones with a definitive answer not design/pattern related. The API's are often consistent and well documented. A lot of people coming from C++ / C# etc can easily transfer to Java. Also although they are a similar age JavaScript uptake for solving real problems is on the increase. I'm novice to intermediate with Java and JavaScript and I find far more gotchas with JavaScript as evidenced in blogs, books etc e.g. The Good Parts (cf The Bad Parts...)
- romanovcode 11y agoI can relate to this. I started with C# and asked a lot of questions first few years. Now I barely ask like 1 question a month regarding this language.
