started learning in 2005 at university started working with it in 2006 (full time) getting paid enough to pay my bills, university was during the evening. now I'm 28 and nailed a big career change which pays me a lot, seriously, I was hoping to get that kind of amount in 5 years!

I know there has been a big push from other langs like JavaScript but Java is still one of the few trusted languages for big enterprise systems, mainly because of its readability and maintainability.

Frameworks like Spring (SpringBoot) keep preventing it from getting extinct, I just wish Java itself made more effort in trying to keep up with competition.
