Is app development using java still the best for the future?

Answer 1

Java is still the best for Android apps development. But there's one stand alone competetor called Kotlin which I think will replace Java soon. But we can't say anything about the future, and don't worry, Java will never die ^^

Answer 3

For the future? Depends how far into the future you're talking. It's hard to say what will be relevant 5 to 10 years from now. We could get hit by a plasma solar flare and none of the programming languages will matter much for awhile.

Answer 4

@Dayve kotlin? another new language totally different from java? need to relearn again? thanks for info. l'm very new to programming.

Answer 5

"If you're interested in using Kotlin, it's easy to get started because it works side by side with Java and C++ on Android. So you can keep your existing code, continue to use the various Android libraries, and incrementally add Kotlin code to your project. "

now the above statement put me at ease to continue learning java.
