After Nearly 30 Years, How Is Java So Popular?
FOSDEM 2023

This year marks 28 years since Java was first released, and it is still consistently in the top 3 most popular programming languages.

In this session, we'll explore how Java has maintained this popularity level, despite the many newer languages vying for the top. The second question we'll look at is how Java can maintain its attraction to new and existing developers around the world.
