I have started off from Java 15 years back. Still writing code in java and would continue to do so ...
I do love typescript and Node though .. I like Python as well.
But why Java ?
- Badass resilient features - keep on bouncing back .. version 4, 7, 8 11 are few which kept it rollin
- Ever growing strongest developer community - You get plenty of tips & experiences from
- Open src & enterprise support - Once Sun was driving it, then Oracle did, so did IBM and now Red Hat. There has always been one key organization which drives java ecosystem "up"
