A few highly visible people are experimenting with other languages, but that's what they do, and they are certainly not representative of the entire community. And even if they tinker with other technologies, I'm pretty sure that most of them are still using Java for their day job. Every single dimension that you look at (language popularity, books, job market, college programs, etc...) is showing that Java is stronger than ever, and as I hinted in a previous message, if anything, I am seeing a recrudescence of new Java programmers, coming to Java mostly for Android. > If we're lucky those people leaving Java just went to Scala, if not there > talent is lost completely for the JVM world. > Again, that's quite a generalization. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
