  I seriously don’t get why Python is so popular for learners. Its a weird ass very isolated language syntactically. The libraries for it are great but still.

    Because it dared to change the shitty syntax of bad syntax languages so humans can actually read it.

    JavaScript sometimes can be weird as hell. That’s why I prefer Python. I don’t know, for me it seemed logical from the beginning. Java definitely ain’t better.

  “Java is dying” is what people who’ve never actually worked as a dev for a big company think.

    The company I work at is currently replacing all of their legacy Java shit with Go

      Okay, and this is relevant how? One company doing stupid shit doesn’t mean a language is dying - it’s the basis of enterprise basically everywhere

        Many companies are migrating away from Java. Have you seen any big projects started in the last 5 years that use Java? I haven’t. Java is only used to either maintain existing stuff or to migrate away from even older shit like COBOL or Perl.

  Java is absolutely not dying… unfortunately. Billions and billions of corporation still write spaghetti code with it every day. It won’t die and it’s unfortunate.
