The paradigm of running a Java Virtual Machine on a Windows desktop is mostly dead
But for server apps, web apps, other platforms it's very much alive
C# is coming in hot to replace it in some instances that don't have a lot of technical debt they need to service.
I used to work in a place whose principal software ran in an emulated IBM AS/400 environment, which itself was written in Java and ran in a JVM.
It was really finicky about the JVM supplier and version, too. Fell over after every update.
I wonder how they're getting on with that these days.
Probably still running Java. Places that are heavy Java are resilient to changing it because of the technical debt required to create platforms like that. This is the reason COBOL and FORTRAN still both exist.
Comparing Java to FORTRAN is some quality trolling
*slow clap*
Java has improved, it's still very much going the way of both of those languages though. Especially when you're arms deep in a system and find out, whoops it's Java 1.2 and you're suddenly back in 1998.
It really isn't but okay
Yes you manage java because of technical debt, places that aren't massively beholden to picking up that stack avoid it like the plague.
Things like Kotlin are kind of breathing new life into the language, but ehhhhhhh there are better choices usually (I've seen die hard Java fans switching to Go lately).
Last week I replaced my home automation controller with the only serious open source home automation platform. It is relatively new, just went through a major code rewrite a few years ago, has active development, and ohbytheway is written in Java.
The entire Android ecosystem is heavily reliant on Java. If you want to make Android apps, you pretty much have to do it in Java.
My company runs on two large business automation platforms. One of them is in Java. That company publishes a roadmap; migration off of Java isn't anywhere on it.
Nerds love to look at a 3% decline in market share and say "Nintendo Java will be dead in 5 years." For example, I've been hearing about the purported death of PHP for 10 years now, yet WordPress remains the most popular website platform.
Regarding PHP, I think we can all agree that sometimes we should let the past die. Kill it if we have to.

Yep, just went and did the fact-check. Looked a lot like Shemar Moore minus facial hair in that resolution, though.

I'm not sure if those words reflect my feelings and/or the truth but you have to have strong opinions to survive in this industry.
