Like what exactly? I think they have a very good roadmap in what they are planning to introduce which has been missing for decades.

The comments on this post show there are too many jobless non-Java/JVM developers in the world.

fuck java

Thank you and congrats to James, Graham, Timmy and so many others...

Bloatware for amateur programmers.

This is why Java endures: youtu.be/uny7Bc1R1H0?... Hint: it's not because it is a great language

From that top-ten list: "C: A programming language often used in app and system development. Its syntax is similar to other popular languages, ..." No. Other popular languages have similar syntax. It's like saying unix looks like linux.

C is older and I use it every day.

Tried once, didn't take, it's liquid cousin on the other hand, now THAT got me into a serious and steady relationship 🥰😆

Flexible constructors look nice. Much of the rest seems more like just following others. Yes, it's always improving. But still slower, and visibly more burdened with past design missteps. Still hasn't invented properties yet either...

Lots of options for coders. Make sure the "Juice is Worth the Squeeze." www.techrepublic.com/article/tiob...

ABAP is 50 years old and still flourishing 🤷 Enterprise software has own rules.

The only thing that will kill Java is Java itself, clojure came close. The precedent is Perl / Parrot.

Java is the COBOL of the 21st century.

Alternatively, use .NET and enjoy life slightly more

Teaching seems to have shifted quite strongly to Python's side. Not sure if that's good or bad but a lot of people struggle trying to get past their first learned language. And with Python you reach that hurdle faster than with Java.

Java made me almost pick up a different career. Nope.

Unfortunately

same with JS

The same way COBOL still persists, Java has shown its resilience. I have been working in Java for more than 25 years!
