JavaScript is the world's most popular programming language. https://www.statista.com/statistics/793628/worldwide-develop...

... do you think people don't use Java anymore?
sure they use it, but I sort of feel the groups that use it and JavaScript are no longer likely to cross over each other, and thus new devs will not be making the historical mistake of rhetorical misunderstanding that was made in the old days.
Full stack developers often use both Java and JavaScript.
