        Well, @Dashrender, we know why Java won't die... people are still using it, apparently!

          That's Java for development, 99% of that is server side. Not client side. That would be crazy. Java for the server is one of the best products ever.

              NodeJS is a JavaScript framework. Not related to Java.

                Cool. So much stuff coming and going lately, it's hard to keep track for me, lol.

                This graph that you show above is for server-side development only?

                  No, it's everything, but Java server side has always been essentially all use cases for it. Java on the client side has always been a fringe usage. Nearly the entire enterprise software world runs on Java.

                    Tip off is the trailing "JS". That stands for JavaScript and by convention, every major JS project puts JS in their name for some reason.

                        Now to be really crazy, you could probably run JavaScript on top of Java somehow just to drive people crazy. Ruby and Python can both be run on top of Java very easily. (JRuby and Jython projects.)

                          @scottalanmiller That's a bit complicated for me, as I'm no Java dev, lol. ... but I think I'm going to tinker with Python some soon... Just to try and learn it. 8-)

                            Wasn't there a project that ran Python on top of Python?

                              Likely.
