Discussion Topic 1 – Slow commercial uptake of Java Java is probably the most widely-taught programming language in the World today. At any one time at least a million people are studying Java programming. However, at the time of writing very little commercial software is being developed in Java. This is in spite of the fact that almost all of the most widely used pieces of software currently in use could have been developed in Java, and their potential market would have been greater (owing to Java’s portability). What reasons might there be for the relatively slow uptake of Java in the commercial sector? Do you think that the current developments in Java (like the use of ‘just-in-time’ compilers and native code compilers) will make any difference to this?
