Why is Java still widely used in the programming ecosystem?
If you have been followed the IT news, you probably heard about the long duel between Oracle vs Google revolving around the license case of Java programming language.
Okay. So, there is an open source Java and why does it matter if we stopped using one programming language? Especially, if you are a seasoned Java programmer, this is maybe a big news to you.
Java is no longer considered to be a “cool” programming language by many upcoming developers.
I started the programming long time back, starting with the web programming languages like HTML (HTML is not a programming language!), Javascript, and Perl/CGI. But I started taking C++ classes at my high school, but the computer science curriculum at my university offered the Java as the standard programming languages, though I took courses being taught in other programming languages as well. At the time, Python looked like a cool programming language that offers the indentation instead of messy curly braces, a default Python shell, etc.
