Is Java worth learning in 2020?

Yes, JAVA is there for many many years again. Billions of devices around the world are powered by JAVA variants. There are also many proprietary Java-based frameworks in many companies.

Even if people or companies want to replace in the future their huge or we can say large Java codebase by another language, we will have to deal with the same case/situation like what is happening now with COBOL language (I mean some critical parts of the global system will not be swapped). We may still have some Java codebase and others part of the system in other language. That also means, people with Java skill will be needed (maybe not too much people) for maintaining these kind of hybrid language system.

In short, having Java programming skill into your toolset is very important as a developer.

But its important to learn other tool also like Salesforce , Deveops etc.

JDK 25: The new features in Java 25

Java Development Kit (JDK) 25, scheduled for release in September 2025, is set to introduce several significant enhancements. Here's an overview of the notable features: 1. Stable Values API (Preview): This feature introduces stable values—objects holding immutable data treated as constants by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). By allowing greater flexibility in initialization timing compared to final fields, stable values aim to improve application startup times. They enable performance optimizations akin to constant-folding, previously exclusive to JDK code, and ensure thread-safe, single-time initialization. This decouples the creation of stable values from their initialization without significant performance penalties. 2. Removal of 32-bit x86 Port: JDK 25 plans to eliminate both the source code and build support for the 32-bit x86 port, which was deprecated in JDK 24. Maintaining this port has become less beneficial, especially with the challenges in keeping it updated wit...

Mastering Java Streams: Best Practices and Common Pitfalls
