Blah blah blah, blah blah...what am I? I am the annoying sound of authors writing about the demise of Java/Apple/IT/etc. Stating that this technology or that technology is dying is such a waste of time, even more so when speaking of programming languages.
Programming languages rarely die, they are just phased out over time. And while it is reasonable to ask whether or not Fortran is passed its prime (even though it is still heavily used in the US military sector and I am sure many other places as well) it seems ridiculous to suggest that Java is dying. Java is hardly an "old" language and while Microsoft's .NET is not quite stillborn it is still competition. Let's get the facts straight though: Java is being heavily used in industries throughout the world as the solution to many problems, from web development to POS systems and so on. Java is not going to die and even a phase-out will not occur for many many years.
So, to all wannabe doomsday writers, as jwzrd is so fond of saying: stfu.
