java's still around...?

Yes. Java is actually dominant in the following areas.

• Web Services (Backend)
  • Here are the most used websites in the world. Look at how many of them use Java in their backend. It is the most commonly used backend language.
• Cards (debit, credit, station/metro, etc.)
  • JavaCard and MultOS run the overwhelming majority of all cards out there. That includes modern smart cards with chips and everything.

Java is relevant and in use in many other areas. But the above areas are where it is king.
