"Java is dying" is what people who've never actually worked as a dev for a big company think.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 11 months ago

You say legacy code?

[–] netchami@sh.itjust.works -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The company I work at is currently replacing all of their legacy Java shit with Go

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Okay, and this is relevant how? One company doing stupid shit doesn't mean a language is dying - it's the basis of enterprise basically everywhere

Many companies are migrating away from Java. Have you seen any big projects started in the last 5 years that use Java? I haven’t. Java is only used to either maintain existing stuff or to migrate away from even older shit like COBOL or Perl.

Yeah, I have seen plenty of big projects started in Java. Hell, I've written code for at least 10 of them. Just because you personally don't see something happening, doesn't mean it isn't there. Java is as popular as it gets, being in the top 3 languages used. It's not going away and it is not being deprecated any time in the future.

Many companies are migrating away from Java.

And way more aren't. Especially among big market cap companies.
