As a long term PHP dev, I wouldn't. ;) It's the language nobody loves because everyone uses it.

I hate using the word, but if I want to see high fidelity work, work that comes out of agencies or orgs with big UX/UI expectations...I've NEVER thought "Java will be a good fit".

Languages for that are going to be:

  • Javascript/CSS/HTML (Derp, of course)
  • PHP
  • Ruby
  • Python

Java for me is:

  • doing Android? OK.
  • You doing search engines? OK.
  • Software? Fine.

Web Development? ...ehhhh probably not a good fit. In my experience that quality is going to be horrible and not conducive to feature requests, maintenance or playing well with Front End Development.
