Well, It's great that I only got to read this article now. Like before, you hear experts saying JS is the future with the introduciton of NodeJs... it just isn't happening and I must say that the opensource community with libraries and features that aren't entreprise proof it's very unlikely for JS to win the game. Experts don't look at the root of why something was started, they just say it's fun and everyone loves it so it will win... hah aha by just loving it. But well, am I not supposed to be commenting about java? Yes.. Here we go, Java is everywhere Iot, Servers, Desktop Apps so because languages like Kotlin, c#, python exists doesn't mean java dies. As C++ recently passed python by popularity, was anyone expecting that? nooo, I don't think so. So as a developer it isn't about knowing 10 languages but it's about learning one or few languages well and be good at them. It doesn't you're stupid for being good at one language.

So guys, java isn't going anywhere. As powerful as open source is today, OpenJDK is gaining the momentum and oracle doesn't have guts to kill java, big java users red hat, ibm will etc keep developing java at the entreprise level atleast that's what I've been reading in recent years feel free to ask google to direct you to the right infomation. Andoid has no power to guide the future of java and Android will never atleast for the next 30+ years drop java. It doesn't mean everyone just turned to Kotlin, I am certain, personally, that over 75% of Android developers still uses java. So new Kotlin User... Just chill a bit please. Java will only die if C/C++ dies. lol!

But I love ASP.NET CORE... What a product!
