I hate when people just try to say Java is a dying language in a Java forum.
Why would you say that?  What is a good reason not to use Java?  What language now does everything Java does that somehow works better?
I think other languages are and/or should be dying languages because of their limitations but I haven't found anything yet I can't do with Java, and the big businesses from Google to Microsoft are supporting it with APIs.
