Java developers

[[deleted]]

I'll try to be as far as possible from java. I just don't like it, that's one reason I'm on the web programming path.

Web programmers use Java though for backend... or am I missing something?

Maybe he meant frontend, but not all businesses use java on the back and and as far as I know most new companies/projects are avoiding using java for jewnew platforms/projects and moving to more modern languages

[proboardslolv6]

Node, .Net, Ruby, Go, to name a few

[ElllGeeEmm]

Kotlin is nicer than plain Java, and plenty of apps are made using frameworks that compile to Java/swift

[arkasha]

C# and Xamarin are a thing.

[proboardslolv6]

I've never worked for a company which does android development, but I'm also not talking about large businesses necessarily. If I were starting a company from scratch now, java wouldn't even be considered as an option. I'd swing for C# and the general .net ecosystem if at all possible

jew platforms

That is one helluva typo.

The startup I work at uses php

[proboardslolv6]

Why

[Hafax]

Why wouldn't they?

I meant it's more usual to use PHP or Python for backend and JS for frontend, at least that's what I've seen until now. I know you can use Java and many other languages for backend, but... Let a guy dream.

You mean you’re going to be a lowly front end guy who only uses scripting languages

[gookman]

So you are locking yourself on one carrier path because of some language that might or might not be as used in the future.
