People are not educated enough and should start living in 2019, not 2010. Java (trademark) is owned by Oracle, but implementation is open source, backed by big names.

> Now Java is showing it’s age and cross compiling is no longer the problem it once was.

I see numerous flaws in this sentence. How Java is showing it's age, language wise, comparing to eg. Go? It is fully OO, has generics and recent versions with advanced functional stuff are making Java pretty modern language on (almost) Scala level.

Regarding cross compiling, it is still the problem. If Go gives you 3-4 platforms out of the box, you can't say cross compiling is solved problem; try to work with MIPS or slightly less popular embedded platforms.



Some people would argue that being "fully OO" is indeed a sign of age at this point. :-)


Which would be ignorant, everything has its place. In any case, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSk5fdKbd3o
