These are the three reasons Java remains relevant, and three more reasons Java is becoming obsolete. What does this all mean for Java developers?

"Should Java become your first language?"

This question is one you may ask yourself whether you're a novice or an experienced Java developer. Java is becoming less popular and Java feels older.

I can't tell you whether Java programming should be taught by 2022. Java is important, but Java may be slowly dying.

Why Java is Still Relevant

Let's start with the many benefits Java offers in modern programming.

1. Massive Java codebases

It is a great reason to learn Java 2022. There has been so much Java code written and someone will be responsible for maintaining that code for many years.

Employers looking for Java programmers will find you more relevant if you learn Java. Java codebases such as the ones created in FORTRAN or COBOL many decades ago aren't likely to disappear. Java programmers are also highly sought after.

2. Java can be used wherever you are

Java's platform independence was one reason it became so popular during the 1990s. Java programs can be run on Linux or Windows without having to change your code.

Java is an excellent choice for general-purpose programming. Although newer languages (like Go) are also relatively platform-independent, Java arguably remains the gold standard of programming languages that let you write your code once and run it anywhere.

3. Java is very modular

Java's emphasis on modularity is another reason it was so popular decades ago. Java wasn't the first object-oriented language, but it's likely it was the most widely used.

Java's modularity and object-oriented architecture are strong selling points. Java is a popular choice for developers who want to reuse code across a company. Java lets you borrow code from other projects to create new apps more quickly.
