naah it's gonna stay, for now 3 billion devices so many legacy support unmatched versatility in Dev platform cost effective development cost, note that the defamation of java only began when Google gave official statement that it will use some new language and C++ for the upcoming OS , as android is not able to match with ever growing powerful devices. Google did that not because there were issues with Java, but the issues with Oracle on standardising new language specifications for java. Oracle simply can't match with Google's pace. hence rumours started to spread, and since Google is a dominant force in market , hence companies don't wanna stay behind for any competitor to overtake , hence many have started shifting to newer platforms and tech stacks.

@Koshmar T , did you used yahoo id to install SoloLearn ? or do u use bing ? or do u use internet explorer? or do use printed map? or do u upload videos somewhere else than Google? coz if u do , then there's no debate , but if don't , then rethink on your statement , about the importance of Google

half of the tools and frameworks I am using , are possible because of Google, they laid the Rosetta stone for a faster standardisation of www

moreover , Google is the only of the big multinational giants that drives it's business by providing free service. that's y they also sponsor majority of the important open source events and technologies to keep it that way

@kay, it will die, backwards compatibility for older versions is compromising new features for java, just because many big clients (specially banking softwares)of oracle uses stone age versions of java , that's y it's difficult to add new features as we can see in KOTLIN or others, btw I don't know anything much about KOTLIN but that's what I heard legacy support is killing java ,

The trend is certainly away from Java. That said, JavaScript is looking more like Java with every version, good Java developers will be able to transfer their skills fairly easily, and employers will see value in experienced Java developers. If you’re learning code today you should focus on JavaScript.

Java future is unknown as it's a very useful language but it's also a bit dangerous. It's complexity puts it in danger for the bugs it sometimes creates and hard to be detected. There are programs that help with it like checkmarx, but things are still a bit too complex sometimes.

I thought Java died several years ago. People still actually use it?

If Java will be adapted to new era innovation, and probably it will, it is going to live at least 50 more years.
