Still mainly Java for the foreseeable future. I don’t believe that in 20 years, I’ll be doing mainly Java though. My point isn’t that Java is bad. It’s that I don’t think it is likely one will have a career in one language.

One can use Actor based concurrency model from Scala or a STM based one from Clojure and so on. But Java is here to stay. Its been the tried and tested solution for loads of enterprise applications deployed around the world. There have been efforts to make Java on part with the younger kids, but then that’s a lot of effort.

Jobs wise- java provide plentiful options, but emerging technologies provide the excitement to work 🙂 People are scratching their itch and that is how we have so many JVM languages evolving and that is the innovation as you said.
