"Where are youngsters seeing java?"

Funny you should ask that. If a high school kid takes Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science in the US (including the kids here in my neighborhood in Silicon Valley), the only language taught is Java. Kids who want my help with their programming projects or classes here in the Valley, even the undergrad CS majors at Stanford, are always going to ask about one of three languages: Python, JavaScript, or Java.

In the shadow of the Apple spaceship, the iPhone is exactly as Apple intends: an appliance for you to communicate with friends and buy things from Apple, certainly not a computer for you to program. Nobody ever asks me about Swift. If you want to program a computer--sorry, "code"--it's always and only Python, JavaScript, or Java.
