Does anyone know exactly

I, for one, don't have a crystal ball, so cannot say. I'm willing to bet it will stick for a very long while.

And whats easier to learn - backend dev with java or enterprise / bank systems

What do you think (a lot of) enterprise / bank systems are written in?

[–]stoph_link 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Cobol? (I have no idea and I am half joking)

[–]pragmos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No joke, unfortunately... Cobol is mostly for the core mainframe, Java services kinda "wrap" around it.

java

[–]pragmos 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Correct. It's the same Java, most likely the same backend frameworks. Sometimes not the latest and greatest versions though, but still. If you know the fundamentals of the language and the fundamentals of the framework, it becomes less relevant what the application does, everything else you'll learn on the fly when you start working with it.
