Java In recent years to develop seemingly lack of core positioning, although the enterprise-class high-end applications Java occupies a large number of shares, but it seems that the current Java out of a relatively confused period. And that's when many new scripting languages quickly capture the web's market share. Currently from the Tiobe programming language rankings, Java although still maintain the number of the first share but still in a constant decline. As a Java enthusiast, I hope Java will perform better in the future.
After Oracle's acquisition of Sun, the industry has paid great attention to the fate of MySQL, Solaris, and Java. In the Red Hat intermediary Software 2020 Virtual Conference, Google for the first time expressed concern about the direction of Java development, "in the past few years, Java has been a leader in a decapitated state."
Google chief engineer Josh Bloch at the meeting bluntly: "In recent years, Java has been a leader in the state of ", "technology and patent disputes in the past few years (the development of Java) has caused great harm, they consume the community too much resources, and bad impact. ”
Although Josh Bloch repeatedly stressed that the problem existed long before Oracle acquired Sun, it challenged Oracle re-engineering and once again leading Java. Oracle, he believes, should launch a new platform at a faster pace, such as Java 7, to enhance support for the Java Community process and to eliminate the Java 2 Micro version as soon as possible.
Google believes that the future of Java is still worth looking forward to, "in the enterprise market Java will continue to remain the dominant platform," but if you do not start now to change, then sooner or later it will decline.
