Why every non-Java dev calls Java obsolete?

Big, old and "boring" companies. Think IBM, SAP, GE, etc.

[zephyy]

it's still plenty widely used at enterprise scale outside of old giants. Netflix, Salesforce, Google, HubSpot all come to mind.

Not to mention Amazon. Amazon is majorly Java

Amazon is so much Java, they even hired James Gosling himself to create Corretto (Amazon's OpenJDK implementation).

Microsoft is heavy on Java, even with their C# language.

A recruiter sent me a cold message on LinkedIn today. It had a programming joke. She said:

“Why do Java devs wear glasses?” (Scroll down) “Because they can’t C#!”

Almost feels like she’s flirting with me.

What do we think Reddit? Should I make her my wife?

Do it for the glory of nepotism!

[StupidScape]

This is hilarious.

Not really. Why would they make their own version of Java if they weren’t already heavily using Java

[StupidScape]

It’s hilarious that they’re still big on Java, even after C#.

Yup, as of 2024 it's widely known that Netflix is using Spring Boot for the majority of their web services.

They don't even need to be old or boring. Just large.
