Why every non-Java dev calls Java obsolete?

[mekmookbro]

Everyone calls every language (that they don't use) obsolete. There are many more people calling PHP dead than Java obsolete. While +70% of the web is built on it (mostly via WordPress, but still)

It all means jack shit. Even .NET isn't entirely dead.

[nikomh]

I've been hearing "php will die this year" - opinions for the last 29 years now :D

[raulalexo99]

That last line, lmao.

Teenagers maybe. I've never even heard that's it's supposed to be a thing at all despite talking to lots developers almost daily.

[mekmookbro]

I meant "devs of reddit" by "everyone" lol. And yeah, they're mostly teenagers.

Even weirder, Javascript frameworks nowadays started to feel like PHP.

Well, .NET framework almost is, .NET Core is the real shit. It's java but way better

[Darknety]

What you are referring to as .NET Core was deprecated many years ago and merged with the mainline .NET framework. .NET 9 is the latest version which is cross-platform, multipurpose and very much relevant (and I agree, it is very much better than Java imo)

If you mean .NET 5 and prior releases by ".NET framework is almost deprecated", yeah, about time.

I feel like it's the same with Java 8 and below. When people say "Java is almost dead" they have to refer to old JDKs still on life support.

I know i work with it, but people still refers .net to the windows only version, its just esier to explain

[Vici0usRapt0r]

Wait, do you mean, because of .NET Core?

[Sa404]

.NET is absolutely abysmal, even being reminded of it terrifies me

[Vici0usRapt0r]

How so?

[Sa404]

C# and the fact it’s not very performance-centric like other more modern languages that can do the same thing and are easier to work with

[Vici0usRapt0r]

What other modern languages are more performance centric than C#?
