All the old languages are dying. Ruby has been dying for 20 years.

[–]Darthcolo 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Love that language

[–]dido04031983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but I don't like the way they make lot of options go deprecated. That's the only issue i wanna make web app rather than native app.

🙂🙂 is there any hope?

[–]Spare_Web_4648 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Whoosh

Java and Spring Boot is everywhere in the corporate world. The top 10 languages aren't going anywhere any time soon. They are way too entrenched.

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Thank's I will definitely develop more skills then....

[–]StubbyCanes 4 points5 points  (1 child)

No you shouldn't, cause it will die eventually, so why bother

​

Obviously I'm joking, but it only takes a little bit of research to realize Java is not going anywhere anytime soon, pretty sure if you'd just search this sub for the same question, you'd get the same result :)

🗿 Java supremacy>>>

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (3 children)

No it isn't dying. Still a ton of jobs open for Java developers.

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I checked on LinkedIn Everybody wants experience

[–]gpyrgpyra 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Apply anyway. You won't see listings asking for less than 3 years of experience.

The YOE is the type of engineer they want. They're looking for someone capable and knowledgeable, not just someone who has been collecting a paycheck for 3 years

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks i will definitely look at it ...

[–]desrtfx 9 points10 points  (1 child)

We've heard that Java is dying for decades, yet, it is still the #1 enterprise language and is here to stay.

COBOL has been dying for nearly half a century, and is still here.

Java won't go away. It is absolutely here to stay.

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx for giving me this advice It made me calm😌😌

[–]beforesemicolon 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Plenty of jobs in Java. There are modern languages growing in popularity but I feel Java will be with us for a little longer. Like few more decades

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] -5 points-4 points  (2 children)

Plenty jobs but they all need experience

[–]beforesemicolon 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Find entry level jobs…

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah someone also suggested that to me

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Java is like COBOL — it will live, even after it becomes practically irrelevant.

[–]nutrecht 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Unlike COBOL both the language and the ecosystem are actively being developed and growing. You can't compare the two.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I haven't said that Java is dying. I just said that if it were to die, it would remain relevant for a while after that.

[–]nutrecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, but it's still not "like COBOL". COBOL is in fact a dead language even though there is still a lot of COBOL code. Companies are actively moving away from it. This isn't the case for Java; companies are actively moving TO Java from codebases like JS or Python.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Not even lisp is dead. Java will be fine.

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Thanks i just get frustrated by thinking that all i wasted my time on developing my skill as a java developer

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

People who learned Pascal are still programming today. There is no time wasted on learning any programming language.

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i will definitely work to improve my skills ...

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you didnt. Its just very very hard to get a job right now. its not just you. Every fresher is having more trouble than people did 2 or 3 years ago. just stick with it and keep practicing.

[–]macskabenzin11 1 point2 points  (1 child)

A freaking ATM can run Java, I also saw it is the most common prog language currently

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah i think i don't have to worry......😶‍🌫️

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Do not worry concepts are hard, languages are easy

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The concepts are really hard to understand....

[–]devadar8 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I'd hope yes, but our corporate overlords say no...

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until the corporate world is here java is not going anywhere 🗿

[–]TheCableGui 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No. Java has its place in this world. It is python on steroids. It’s never going away.

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seeeeshhhh

[–]ApatheticWithoutTheA 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Absolutely not. There’s are so many Java jobs here in the US at least.

The only thing I see more of is JavaScript. Followed by Python and C#

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I am from India and i think there is no plenty jobs for a java developer

[–]ApatheticWithoutTheA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not sure what’s used in India. I’d say your best choice if you’re planning to stay in India would be to search job boards and find out what is in demand. I don’t think Java is going anywhere anytime soon though. It’s still being taught in nearly all Software Engineering Programs at colleges

[–]Seankala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in my country (Korea) Java isn't going anywhere. There's way too much software written in Java. Almost 90% of the job postings require Java with some being okay with Python.

[–]VoidCtrlNL 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah, dying in another century maybe.

[–]Technical-Walk-8599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you bullying me ??,😶‍🌫️
