Java has played a very long innings and is one of the oldest programming languages but now it seems to be losing out steam to new age languages such as AJAX, PHP for creation of rich internet applications and have found favor with the developers




They feel Java has let them down and the promises made were never fulfilled since the compatibility an issue were never handled efficiently and with various versions and downloads being rolled out it just made the matter more complex. Even in the mobile arena it could not prove its worth and the java mobile edition could never gain ground in the arena of mobile applications. All this has led to .Net from the stables of its old rival, Microsoft to come up and threaten its position but hold on Java is not moving towards its grave since it still delivers strong performance for internally developed enterprise applications but this not means that it is still holding on to its numero uno position. Is Sun listening?
