Java has been #1 or #2 for 13 years.

It is dominating two very fast growing markets:
* smartphones (Android)
* big data (Hadoop)

The large Java EE applications developed the last 15 years are still
rather new in enterprise life cycle.

It is practically guaranteed that Java will be in the top for
the next 5 years to come. The only question is whether it will
be as #1 or #2.

As far as I know then Oracle has bot changed strategy.

There were a bit of speculation after Oracle let go
of a handful of people well-known in the Java world
a few months ago.

The speculation did not sound particular convincing.

Apple is actively pushing Swift over Objective-C so
no surprise in that.
