KOTLIN

SCALA

PYTHON

R

GROOVY ON GRAILS

GO

NOW NEW FEATURE IN RECENT JAVA IS IT IS HAVING SHELL I.E JSHELL MEANS IN FUTURE DAYS JAVA CAN DEVELOP MACHINE LEARNING APPLICATIONS ALSO

THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF JAVA IS IT IS STILL EXTENSIBLE

WE CAN COMBINE JAVA WITH PYTHON FORMS JYTHON

WE CAN USE JAVA LIBRARIES IN OTHER LANGUAGES EX KOTLIN

IN DATABASE WE ARE HAVING JARS THAT ARE DEVELOPED ON JAVA

IN CLOUD WE ARE HAVING VF WHICH IS JAVA BASED

MOREOVER IT IS AN OPEN SOURCE PLATFORM

HADOOP IS DEVELOPED IN JAVA

Things like angular and spring and aws cloud are commonly asked allongside java skills now. Also tools like maven and git are essential when working on bigger projects.

Answer 10

Even thought there are other languages that are on the rise right now, like Python, Golang, Javascript, and not many company use mostly Java nowadays, however, there is no doubt that Java is still the most popular language today because of its wide applicability compared to other languages.

Answer 11

Yes of course

Answer 12

Having much experience in many languages, including both Java and C# over the years, Java, as a language, simply hasn't evolved at the pace of C#. Java just falls short when comparing equivalent approaches to how C# and .NET handles LINQ, Generics, class property accessors, JSON serialization, Async/Await, boxing / unboxing of primitive types, yada, yada, I could go on for a while.

Here is one of many articles that highlight many features that Java developers have been deprived of for so many years.

Also, .NET Core is now a strong portability competitor against the JVM for multi platform support.

Answer 13

Java is still popular and most of the smart devices are running through the Java programming language. You can take the example of Android. Large part of Java is written in Java.

Yep of course it's still popular

Answer 15

I think sree harsha has said it all

Answer 17

Well it is still 'popular' since a lot of programmers prefer it for its super power (Does not have limitations).....But a small fact still remains, most programmers are choosing other languages over it because of its complexity so somehow Java☕ is slowly losing it's popularity 🔰....

Answer 19

if you are in a science major, whether it be biology or physics, python will be better to learn than Java.
if you are a web developer, Javascript, Node, PHP and even Ruby will be better to learn.
if you are a iOS mobile app developer, assuming you are not using React.native, you need Swift and perhaps Objective-C, no use for Java on the Front End.
And if you are an Android mobile app developer, Java has been replaced by Kotlin.
Even for system programming, C/C++ and now Rust offer sounder and better performance.
Java has been a preferred language for database development, especially Oracle databases.
Of course, Microsoft advocates C# over Java.
Java remains a preferred language for AP Computer Science students for now. However you might learn more reading SICP and learning DrRacket or Scheme.
Thus, Java has all the warts of a multiparadigm programming language with intermediate code base, including null reference errors, platform heterogeneity, and memory management with Garbage collection, not to mention some security vulnerabilities.

Answer 20

sree harsha If "NO ONE CAN BEAT JAVA" could you explain me why C++ and Python courses have both more than 1 milion of learners than Java one? The syntax isn 't intuitive as the other languages' and being an high-level language it can do nothing without its libraries and modules. Every language is better than other languages in different uses, like PHP for server programming or C for low-level operations so don 't say that no one can beat Java
