use of Java has declined over the years. that's a sign.



Stop this nonsense.

Look at SO's 2022 survey, Java is the third worldwide most used programming language that can be used on the backend. This is after 12 years under Oracle's ownership.

did u compare past years results?

Java usage (SO survey):

2022 - 33.27%

2021 - 35.35%

2020 - 40.2%

2019 - 41.1%


Looks like Python, and partially JavaScript, are eating Java's lunch. I knew that JS is popular, but I have not expected Python. Do you think it's Oracle's mismanagement that led to this?
