A company, which makes IDEs based on Java and for Java, concludes based on its own surveys that Java is indeed still relevant. That's a shocking revelation.

IDE company's survey shows it's own product as overwhelmingly most popular IDE. Who could have guessed?

Are you saying IntelliJ isn't the most popular IDE for Java?

JetBrains make IDEs for a host of languages: https://www.jetbrains.com/ides/

Their Java IDE is one of the few they release with a free community edition. There is a commercial version with additional features. I expect this is a result from arising where Eclipse and NetBeans open source IDEs existed.

I like GoLand and IntelliJ. Superior tools to others I have tried.

I really hope so, I'm no superfan for java but I prefer it over JavaScript and Python

Agreed it's biased, but no one working for a fortune 100 company would doubt Java's relevance

I had never doubted whether Java is still relevant, until I saw an article trying to convince me Java is still relevant.

Saying Java is terrible has been a thing since Java first came out.

"It's strings aren't even mutable." - some C++ programmers.

Exactly - talk about a marketing backfire.

Java = death for any startup. It also made OOP the main zeitgeist for many years, another terrible idea.

Nowadays it is getting better. But then again there is Kotlin and Clojure too.

Sadly yes. But given that you ask, there might be an end in sight. ^^

Yes, Java is a fine language and the JVM is a fantastic runtime.
