Sure, twenty-five years ago, when Sun was pushing their language hard into colleges everywhere.
Now? Sun Microsystems doesn't even exist, and everybody hates the JVM in an ecosystem where VMWare, Docker, and Kubernetes do the whole "virtual machine" model much better.
That was a long, long, long time ago.
Java has continued to be very popular after Oracle purchased Sun Microsystems.
Can't say I agree. It feels like an almost even 50/50 split between Java and C# when I look at job postings.
