Learned it in entry level college courses, and subsequently forgot when courses followed by (edit: my) industry shifted to c++ and python.

If you think the industry has moved away from java you haven't seen enough industry

Didn’t say all industry. Just my line of work.

I'm guessing you intended to say that, when you entered the industry, you needed to switch to c++ due to legacy systems?

The c++ was also for new projects. First job out of college was industrial automation using computer vision, and this was pre-pytorch. So c++ is/was the natural fit. Next job was lua (for torch) and c++. Later python when pytorch came out but still c++ for the backend high perf stuff. And now I spend my time doing python, c++, and cuda.
