Java forever! 12 keys to Java's enduring dominance - JavaWorld
Keys to continued Java dominance
- Resiliency in the face of (often dirty) politics
- The magic of threads
- Java as first programming language
- (Close enough) cross-platform compatibility
- Sustained success on small chips
- Blu-ray
- Curly brackets just work
- Groovy
- The JVM
- The NoSQL revolution, built in large part on Java
- Minecraft hooks into postmillennial mind share
- Open source
Java. It runs everything and is open to change. You can replace most
parts of the libraries with your own code if you need different
functionality. The language is open source and very flexible. Whatever
limitations the language and the platform have can be solved relatively
easily. This means that Java programmers continue to be some of the most
productive. Even though the books no longer dominate the best-seller
list and the software updates don't come as frequently, Java continues
to live and even thrive.
