I think they are saying Java is dead?! Not sure how else to interpret the comment. If that's the case I have to disagree. There are probably billions of lines of Java in enterprise, it will never die.
my standard Java analogy is it's like a garbage truck. Java is out there every day doing a job that's absolutely critical but rarely, if ever, in the lime light.
I disagree. The open web likes bashing it as a scrape goat. Reddit, X/Twitter, etc. It's died down some lately but there were at least a couple a years when this was very out there.
