Verified User Anonymous Chose Oracle Java SE We had to stick with Java SE due to some of our other services being already written in Java.

Balázs Kiss Software Developer Chose Oracle Java SE I wanted to write Python, NodeJS, PHP... but it's hard to compare all the different fruits in the basket.

Terra Lo Computer Scientist 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.

MK Michael Kolling Professor Chose Oracle Java SE Many other languages could be used for initial programming. However, simplicity of concepts, static type system and available tool support in combination made Java come out top for us. Especially Python has become very popular recently.

User Testimonials
	Encore.dev	Oracle Java SE
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Oracle Java SE is well suited to long-running applications (e.g. servers). Java Swing (UI toolkit) is now rather outdated, lacking support for modern UI features. JavaFX, the potential replacement for Swing, has now been separated out of Java core. Ideally, there would be a path to migrate a large application incrementally from Swing to JavaFX, but due to different threading models and other aspects, it is difficult. At this point, it is probably better to use an embedded web browser (e.g. JxBrowser) to provide a modern UI in HTML/Javascript and keep just the business logic in Java.

Pros	No answers on this topic	Since Java runs on a virtual machine, it's generally considered to be agnostic of the hardware it's running on. It allows for deployment across a mix of hardware setups with the same binary. Lots of literature, third party libraries, support forums, and books have been devoted to Java in general, making it a great language to use to support the business. Backwards compatibility has been an important strength of Java for us. Legacy code that isn't ready to be retired yet can still run on our newer setups despite using older versions of OJSE.

Cons	No answers on this topic	Oracle java SE is more memory intensive as compared to some of the other programming languages. It would be great if it can be optimized for memory. Licensing cost could be reduced to make it more affordable. Java's GUI frameworks are not very capable. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	The language is fluent and has good support from a number of open source and commercial IDEs. Language features are added every 6 months, although long-term service releases are only available every 3 years. It would be nice if some of the older APIs were depreciated with more pressure to move to the new replacement APIs (e.g. File vs. Path), but transitions to new features are generally well implemented. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Java is such a mature product at this point that there is little support from the vendor that is needed. Various sources on the internet, and especially StackOverflow, provide a wealth of knowledge and advice. Areas that may benefit from support is when dealing with complex multithreading issues and security libraries. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	We choose Java as our system has multiple sub-applications that have different purposes and architecture including back-end applications, front-end UI, front-end Rest API, and Selenium Automation tests. They are deployed in Windows and Linux, communicate with each other using Rest API, RMI and Queue Message and need to support different deployment environment from Dev, Test, UAT to Production so using Java allows us to have a common standard from development, build and deployment for all applications. Incentivized Trang Nguyen Senior Test Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	We didn't need to spend more time and resources on developing apps for each OS. Our Java application worked perfectly on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Our customers aren't fully satisfied with the performance of our application, specifically load up times. We didn't need to purchase training courses for our software developers. Each of them were already well-versed in using Java SE. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
