Balázs Kiss Software Developer in Engineering at Webvalto Ltd. (Banking, 51-200 employees) Chose Oracle Java SE I wanted to write Python, NodeJS, PHP... but it's hard to compare all the different fruits in the basket. Java is good for what it was made for, and much more nowadays. Java was and I suspect, will be a strong candidate for any backend project, and it's one of the most popular … Incentivized Helpful? Barry Burd Professor at Drew University (Higher Education, 201-500 employees) Chose Oracle Java SE As I wrote earlier, I don't have a preference for one vendor's Java SE over another.

As time has evolved, c# is catching up. Incentivized Helpful? Ram Nair Director in Research & Development at Tekvista, Inc (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Oracle Java SE Oracle's Java is a uniform platform.

Terra Lo Computer Scientist in Engineering at NUWC Keyport (Government Relations, 10,001+ employees) Chose Oracle Java SE We haven't really used any other products like Java. We have used python and C++ for other projects. Java is much simpler to use than C++, but probably not as simple as Python. Then again, Python is meant to be a scripting language, so when comparing to C++, Java is definitely … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Kolling Professor at King's College London (Research, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Oracle Java SE Many other languages could be used for initial programming.
