I use both and you are right. As language C# fixes many things one could be unhappy with in Java. But Java has it's eco system which is definitely unmatched in quality and quantity...and that plus the ultra optimized and battle-tested JVM is what makes people stick with it.

Come on...

For the sake of God, Stop sharing this permanently. Please!

Maybe they relaunched the service in a country where no one cares about US mass-surveillance law and it's enforcing entities...

Java's networking capabilities are rock solid, battle-tested and have got very fast as it is used in many heavy duty back end systems all over the world

Dude, this demo site is so blazingly fast...i have never seen a site rendering like that before.

Yeah old Story...uber-intelectual mathematical-master-race-guy bashing Java...boring

Try Java with Ninja Framework, it is really nice and the JVM rocks.

You hit the spot with your article. I could not have said it better. Let's now wait till the NodeJS/Mongo-webapp-in-2hours Kids ruling HN, start to "bash" you to hell... But be sure: There are more than enough people out there who exactly know what you are saying and why.

I really love those endless entertaining bashy discussions about the most widely used programming language in histoty. You hatefull guys out there would not even be able to use your credit card for making a single checkout, your bank would not be able to do a single transaction, your online experience would simply not be existent, but no problem, you would not notice because you would have no phone in your pocket to consume all this irrelevant stuff, made with a robust, highly optimized and reliable language...Sure Java is no beauty, it is sheere Power...powering an immense part of the digital world we live in. please stop whining an face one of the most advanced pieces of information technologies ever. it is here to stay. P.S.: without Java your favourite toy would be named only "Script" ...would be sad, wouldn't it? ;-)

Full ACK!
