Time to start saving and start exploring. And it is that easy. Unless if you have people to take care of.

Happy New 2016th.
At what point does a widely shared opinion become factual?

wait
this is what makes it a bad language?

look at the first one. 92% of android apps are written in Java. There are currently 1.4 billion devices running android right now
That does not in absolutely any way make it a good language. Just because something is well-known and widespread doesn't necessarily make it decent. Java in browsers is the most obnoxious thing to deal with. I'm looking forward to the day this crap finally dies.
Also, Android is developed (and written mostly in Java) by Google. Same people who are pushing it off of their Chrome.
Just because it isn't ideal in browsers makes it a bad language, it is really easy to write and you don't really have to deal with allocating and freeing memory. It also runs on any OS.
I know it's written by google. She was trying to say that something google was doing makes java a bad language, but runs on the largest mobile operating system.
I do not think android is mostly java, all of the apps and the UI are, but underneath all of that is C and C++.
The link wasn't a reason. lol
Just a display of how impractical it is these days.
Java has too many flaws for it not to be replaced by better languages; html5.
It isn't "ideal" is an understatement. And yeah, it's an easy to learn language, but going from Java to any other language is really difficult. Hell, even going from C to Java is a mind**** all in its own.
But I guess I shouldn't be posting these sorts of things on that subject, considering just how much heated debate there is about the language in the programming community. Some treat it like it's the holy grail, while others consider it an outdated POS. It's something that's really difficult to stay indifferent to for a large number of people (most either love it or hate it), so for that reason, I'm not going to comment on it further. Especially knowing how you like to get in discussions such as this.
If you don't work in the field, what could you use a programming language for? I only randomly learned JavaScript and made some text-based games with it. Should I bother learning something new? I don't like working with computers though.
