So too will Java's. The language itself is objectively more verbose than many modern equivalents. Network effects and existing libraries aren't facets of the language and over time the gap will narrow
+ I am actually not sure whether even that is true. With how great intellij is, I would honestly wouldn’t be surprised if writing a java program would come out as less keystrokes than the equivalent program in a less verbose language.
Additionally, "the gap will narrow" is not the same as "Java's time is over", which is the only thing I'm having an issue with. Over implies that the gap is already closed, but I don't think it is, and if I'm wrong I sincerely want to know about what the new language du jour of a major employment field is.
If anything, the field will fragment a bit more, but java likely never gonna die — cobol and fortran often run in VMs due to the hardware not being as long-lived as them, due to the JVM model, java is not even weak to that.
