Okay done a bit more reading into it as I wasn't in the industry at the time, can't really find a whole lot about Java dying or being dead but sure, I'll take your word for it. Your argument is still dumb. You claim Oracle were going to kill Java in 2010 right? You mean... the year they bought it in
You must be registered to see the links
? A deal worth ~$7
billion, yeah I can totally see them buying it and killing it immediately until they saw how successful Minecraft was.
Besides, enterprise has, is, and probably will always be Oracle's target area. Even if no new projects are ever started using Java, there is
more than enough legacy code/applications out there to make a pretty penny on licensing, hell they could stop all development of the language and still probably rake in money for decades. Remind me again how everyone has stopped using COBOL because it's old? Oh... wait
