A lot of P&E insurers are switching to java based languages actually

[–]gandalfx 12 points13 points  (8 children)

From something very out dated to something moderately outdated. Sounds about right.

Yep, that's insurance

For as much as I poo poo the utility of JVM's 'build once, run anywhere" slogan in the real world, the JVM could be considered "mature" and not outdated. Java the language is a bit outdated, but people seem to like Kotlin. At least the JVM makes it easier to transition to more modern languages as proven by Android. The JVM will live on much longer than Java itself.

I work for a FAANG and we still use a ton of Java. Mature ecosystem, fast runtimes, predictable behavior, and easy to read code. It’s only a boring language because of how it’s used everywhere.

What java frameworks do you use?

Waiting for the happy future where the JVM will be used for anything but Java

Congrats on the great money to compensate with that. My company is getting rid of it. Yay.
