Java has gotten me lucrative jobs and I make a more than decent living thanks to it. And I bet I am not the only one.
People should stop hating on languages and just use what's right for the job. I am no fanboy of Java or anything (I program in multiple languages), but saying it should die already is a weird take, IMHO.
I like languages that aren't going to get my company sued later
The language Java has nothing to do with the JVM. Use OpenJDK (temurin or the likes) instead, although I understand if you don't have the freedom to do so.
Nonetheless, the suing part is damn stupid.
Google got sued for using the language. They won, but I can't afford that fight. They might lose but I refuse to believe that Oracle won't change their mind in the future and decide that anyone who breathes the word Java owes them money. Oracle can't be trusted.
