What Can Java Be Used For by Olalekank(m): 1:30pm On Oct 28, 2017 |
So as java has been created since the 20th century when android hadn't been in existence, I was just wondering what java had been used for before the existence of android. The major thing java is used for is android. My question is what other things can java be used for apart from creating android apps? I want to continue learning android. Thank you 1 Like |

Java was mostly used in creating Hadoop one of the most popular softwares used by organisations for data science tasks. |

Java is no longer the official language for building Android apps, Kotlin is. So, soon Java could be marked totally deprecated for android apps. Olalekank: |

DanielTheGeek:Java will never be deprecated for android. Too many code bases in it . The language is still evolving ... Google knows better than to attract the wrath of java fanatics. |

java can be used for anything except low level system programming. Any application u use that is not a system tool couldve been written in java, for raw speed most apps are not suitable for writing in java- because of the garbage collector in the jvm. popular java apps include: limewire - that file sharing program that was popular in the mid 2000s. apache ant - java built tool apache tomcat - java http server eclipse ide netbeans ide opera mini browser jedit jython jruby |

DanielTheGeek: 20 years from now, people will still be developing android apps using java bro |

asalimpo: You may want to correct your statement on Java not becoming deprecated, I mean, every language is prone to that... It may hang around the corner for a pretty long time, but while it might champ at embedded devices and other stuff like building compilers and interpreters, it may no longer (in a very long time) be suitable for Android apps and Google has shown the sign by adopting Kotlin whereas Kotlin has also shown that Java is still important by supporting Java compatible byte code when targeting JVM and supporting it's libraries. |

DanielTheGeek: and who told you that |
Re: What Can Java Be Used For by Nobody: 8:27pm On Nov 01, 2017 |
netbeans1: Lol, well check kotlinlang.org |
Re: What Can Java Be Used For by netbeans1(m): 9:02pm On Nov 01, 2017 |
DanielTheGeek: Bro java was never deprecated or will ever be deprecated for developing android apps And kotlin ain't the official language for android dev either #fact |
Re: What Can Java Be Used For by Nobody: 8:55am On Nov 02, 2017 |
netbeans1: Are you the one that will decide what is official for Android? Well except you're Sundar Pichai, Larry Page or Dave Burke, You have absolutely no say as to the decisions of the Android OS. It seems you don't know Google owns Android and can do as they please with it... Kotlin is official on Android, take or leave it. |

Well, considering the fact that oracle owns java now, there might be a future shift from the java ecosystem. Even google has preference for openjdk (source: heresy). What's important is the problem being solved by java. For me, it's structure and threading. Personally, javascript is looking very beautiful these days, especially from the eyes of typescript. If that ever become as useful for programming... Java is used for programming computers. |

Olalekank:3 years later and Java is my preferred language, next to JS Great insights from everyone that commented |
