  • My perspective is that language is not as useful a metric as people believe it is. A lot of companies interview in languages that are not their own.

    I don’t like Java myself mostly because the company’s that make heavy use of java tend to be slow moving giants that write classes like AbstractBeanFactoryFactory. I’m not a fan of the language much either. If had to pick a JVM language it would be Kotlin.

    For salary’s maybe look at the StackOverflow survey. I’m not saying to dedicate your life to Zig but maybe Java is statistically not the optimal choice. Do be aware that this graph is the average, and I’m sure highly paid Java engineers are not an uncommon sight, it’s just that the masses of crappy enterprise jobs drag them down.
