  1. Assuming that Java has that firm of a market... by lkaos · · Score: 1, Troll

    The biggest problem with this article is that it is making the assumption that java has a strong hold in the market. The fact of the matter is, java is not being used extensive in commerical software and is being used as mainly a GUI abstraction layer in properitery software.

    Many people hear that this company is using java and that company is using java, but the fact of the matter is that while java is being used, most of the code in products still remains C and C++ or another such language.

    Java is not something that is a silver bullet language. It is a niche language.
