It was never the sexiest language, but for decades Java has been a mainstay of modern technology, and it's going to be with us for years to come.

    I think Java was first released just after I graduated. I do program Java at my day job though, and I don’t mind it. It has its quirks but I find I can express myself using Java, but I probably try to think towards much in OO paradigms when I design and code.

        For your information, since java 10, 2018, 7 years ago, it’s

        var thing = Thing like most languages.

        You should update your java knowledge.
