Java Turns 30 ( developers.slashdot.org )

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 😁

Thankfully I moved away from that bloated language long ago

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.

tsumy There has always been plenty of negativity around Java. I am wondering where it really comes from, as I would say the language itself is "okay", but I do feel the negativity myself when I look at the broad ecosystem, where most libraries, packages, or frameworks seem to be over engineered and old school, and definitely smell too enterprisey.

You are so right. Too many frameworks, too much over-engineering, too much bs
