    No. Every language has its haters. There’s a reason Java is so widely used. If you like it, keep at it.

      Yes and the reason is because millions of lines of production code were written and it isn’t worth rewriting them.

      Plenty of languages around now that don’t have 30 years of baggage and the specter of Oracle hanging over it.

      Now a days many businesses choose Go.

        Now a days many businesses choose Go.

        Many companies may choose something other than Java, but Java is still the behemoth.

        Such a decision is taken when the company is completely new or if it is a green field project.

        Even in the case of the latter, companies just choose to stick with their existing tech (read: expertise and experience of their tech teams)…

        I don’t really like Go either, but it’s better than Java, and it’s pretty good for Big Software ™. In the end, every language has some problems. Java just has all of them.

        The only reason not to choose Go is legacy systems with SOAP. That shit will never die.
