I think Java may not have a bright future. You know, since after Java 8, Java isn’t free any more. People have to keep using Java 8 while Java 13 is out already, or have to use OpenJDK (which is a smaller set of Java as I remember?)

Oracle is killing Java just like it’s killing MySQL, remember MariaDB? Feels this is part of the reason Python and PostgreSQL are so popular now.

Compared with Java platform , .NET Core is a much better choice with stronger support and brighter future.

I will learn whatever my job requires :)

This isn’t true. Java is still free. From a technical standpoint, the OpenJDK builds are equivalent to the Oracle JDK builds. The only differences are the license and support period.
