I started Java in 1999. And I have heard these type of stories ever since. If Java is dying, then it's a really long process of dying.

Java is dying in the sense that Beteigeuze is going supernova. Some day it will happen, but it may not be in my lifetime.

"decline" and "die" are very different words.

Sure. I was just over excited. Sorry :)

I dont remember a single a Java dying story. It was extremely hyped in the early 00s. There were lots of hate during the very late 00s and early 10s when Ruby on Rails is hyped. But I dont remember anyone saying Java or JVM is dying or dead.

A quick search on HN doesn't show much about Java is Dead. And the only Java is dead story I remember was some opinion pieces of how Oracle will make Java unusable. Which hasn't been the case at all. I count those as Oracle hate article rather than Java is dead.

There were lots of Java is Dead on Desktop. ( And that is certainly true from a consumer standpoint ). But I dont remember a single Java or the JVM ecosystem is dead article.

Comparatively speaking, there are 10 times more Ruby is dead article....

There’s still places that use Lotus Notes. Lotus Notes definitely isn’t dead. It’s not quite as influential as it used to be though.
