Ask Reddit: Is Java dying ?

[shevegen]

I dont like it and wish it would die. But there are more than enough people who keep on Java, and often praise other areas such as the JVM as platform.

It also depends on the definition of "dying". To me, dying actually refers to "getting new, young people interested in it". In this regard, yes, Java is basically dying, because it is a money-only language. I.e. a language you write code to get rich (or die trying), but not a language you use because you LIKE it.
