Old and people kinda hate reading it but it's everywhere finance for reasons and will never die

Here’s hoping I get some of that sweet y2k38 money fixing old Java code.

If C++ is still being actively developed and expanded, Java's got a few more decades. Java is getting more new features. I can maybe see it losing out to other JVM languages but I presume they're stuck with Maven and gradle for a long while.

I’m saying Java is like COBOL because they’re old and will never die.
