The last paragraph has good bits.

the language's popularity is undiminished by so-called "predatory licensing tactics." Over 30 years, Java has moved from an upstart new language to something enterprises have come to depend on.

Gosh, I'm getting old. When I was getting out of school, Java was something hot and even trendy 😁

Sometimes I feel tempted though, there are well paid positions for Java + XYZ programming languages. Last time I was doing mostly Go + Python + a little bit of Java. It was a great role TBH, but the salary not that much and this is why I left :-D

gopher everyone needs a bit of self-respect, and there's no enough money al least for me to be 8h at day with that language.
