The IT community debates Java’s loss to modern programming languages

Java has right throne star end time ?

Recently, the topic “Java’s decline” has always received a lot of interaction and mixed opinions on IT forums (information technology) or social networking sites. In order to connect and create an exchange space for programmers on this issue, CMC Global organizes the talkshow “Java – The star has expired?”, with the companion of Viblo Platform and the National Innovation Center. family. Here, multi-dimensional views around the development and potential of Java are hotly discussed.

Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems, first released in 1995 and acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2010. Up to now, Java has undergone many improvements with a total of 19 versions. published.

However, more and more programming languages ​​are born with their own advantages, bringing competition and somewhat “overwhelming” Java. At its peak, Java was used in most software development projects, but is now being eliminated in many inappropriate areas.

Talkshow “Java – The Star Out of Time?” organized by CMC Global attracting the participation of more than 50 Java programmers.

Approaching Java from the early years, guest Phan Tich Hoang, Solution Architect at CMC Global commented that Java is no longer at its peak but its vitality is still stable. He said that “Despite many limitations compared to new languages, it is undeniable that Java is still being used a lot because of its high security and ease of deployment. It has classic software design patterns for systems. and above all, Java has a large user community with more than 10 million programmers.”

Guest – Mr. Nguyen The Hung – Technical Leader at CMC Global, shared the same opinion: “The saying that Java is dying is partly true and not true. Java’s rise and fall is inevitable. But In fact, projects that have been developed in Java since the very beginnings of the programming industry are very difficult to fully migrate to the new language.With projects starting to develop, there are many reasons for the development team to choose. Java as the main language The significant strides in recent Java versions are fulfilling their “mission” and responding appropriately to business problems.”

Many advantages of Java are mentioned by programmers as Java-based systems are always available at optimal cost, making development faster. Java is a popular language taught at universities and IT training centers. Java learning resources are also diverse on both free and paid platforms, making it easier for people with learning needs to learn and access new knowledge more easily. Most talkshow participants agree with the point of view “Without Java, there is no programming”.

According to Topdev’s Vietnam IT Market Report 2021, Java ranks 2nd in the top 5 skills that technology companies in Vietnam are looking for. In recent years, despite facing an economic crisis from the COVID-19 Pandemic, the average salary of a Java programmer is still over $1,000, excluding other benefits.

In response to the concerns of some young people about whether Java is still a fertile land to pursue, the guests gave a perspective from the actual needs of software development companies. Mr. Tich Hoang said, “At CMC Global, the number of projects developing systems using Java still accounts for a high proportion, especially systems with a global scale. In the financial year 2022, CMC Global plans to recruit up to 500 Java programmers to meet resources for key projects.Not only the recruitment scale is large, the company is also ready to offer the top salary and benefits to earn. attract talent in the market”.

Many community activities dedicated to Java programmers are also invested and organized by CMC Global, such as Code & CTF Challenge 2022: Java Stage – an online contest on programming and algorithms that will take place at the end of September. come here.

Mr. Nguyen The Hung shares the view “Any system will have basic problems to deal with, and a programming language is just one of the tools for you to solve that problem.” In the framework of the talkshow, the guests also agreed that the most important thing for a software engineer is to learn how to think, not simply limit yourself to Java or any other programming language.
