Maybe at the moment, but the one place that Java isn't going, simply because Oracle owns it, is the FUTURE.

Now Cobol, there's a much better bet, because Oracle can't sabotage it and audit everyone using it to make a few bars of silver!

Oracle together with Sun and IBM are the foundation of the Java community.

Outside HN bubble most companies are perfectly fine with its management.

In case you missed it, modern COBOL compilers, outside mainframes, target JVM and CLR as deployment targets.

And no one is jumping in into COBOL development courses.
