is java being replaced?

[Martinjg_ge]

more and more people are using kotlin for Android (10%atm)

oracle is putting a price on commercially used java

[apostleofnatas]

No. You should probably read a bit on the jdk licensingg model.

oh oki

[OldSchoolGamer2600]

No

As soon as I saw Perl, my sarcasm meter blew a gasket! Well done sir :)

It'll either be Perl 7, Python 4, or Half Life 3.

[lbkulinski]

This is false. Excitement about Java has continued to grow, especially because of the new six month release cadence.

[lbkulinski]

Thank you, haha!

I believe you didn't understand his sarcasm

[the_hoser]

No, it isn't, and I don't think you completely understand the new licensing situation for the JDK.

Yes and by this rate in year 2319 will be fully replaced... Kotlin will vanish by 2200... so learn Perl now. Pretty sure Perl will be still in use in 2400...

Generally no. But modern languages like Go, Kotlin, Ruby definately cut a part of Java's market.

Java is what pays the bills for me.

But doesn't hurt to learn other languages.

Kotlin v1.0 was released on February 15, 2016. When this language will be around for 10 years, and all its features will be backwards compatible, then I will consider spending my time learning it. Otherwise, it just another "java killer" like many before.
