Java's not gone anywhere, but it's been years since I've interviewed anyone who has made it their language of choice. Developer sentiment for it isn't exactly great.

A decade ago, a good ~80% of applicants chose to use it or C#.

I personally don't have any issues with working with it, but nobody's learning it outside of work.

On the other hand, it is quite easy to learn, so there's that going for it.

More like a zombie. It is still shuffling along, but the life left it long ago.
