I am not sure if community buzz is a very useful metric here. I mean Java is certainly not cutting edge, but liked and used are two very different things. As a Java dev I am obviously biased, but I generally don't get the hate.
With the JVM and all the frameworks/tooling around it, even if it's dying, it will be a viable career option for quite some time still. Certainly long enough for me to pick up something else when the ship really starts sinking. Not everyone works in SV after all.
Thank you for this addition. I fully agree with you. I consider Java as a big player for many years to come before it even faint and become a niche as Cobol or Fortran are now.
My reaction was not about buzz only, it was also as in the job offers and projects coming with many other options along with Java are looming large.
For a job seeker or a anyone wanting to engage in the software industry it would be wrong to assert Java is dying, don't go there (it even an option to consider if you plan to join many reference companies). It is still a very sound option for at least one solid decade to go. I'm sure you'll continue having fun with Java!
