Java in 2026, is it worth it still?

Think in Objects... learn to think like an engineer, and learn why Java is still the go to, 30 years later...

Worth it ngl, AI still cant compile the code it could give ya instructions, to compile, you'll need knowledge in build tools like maven or gradle and know to compile or find the errors.

Thats not true lol

Try telling an AI to compile Java code to .jar files then

[digital moat]

To be fair, that is just a maven pom edit for the manifest then a maven script, same with Gradle

So to be fair, it's understandable how it's doable

[lean monolith]

Not true.
The modern coding agents can use the CLI.
For example, the codex CLI agent can run gradle tests and docker containers.

Some more advanced AI agents (eg., vercel v0) are connected to deployment services. These agents can build and deploy full-stack apps.

(Despite that the AI can do this, I would not trust it with the production deployment or anything else that can cause damage.)

Modern ai thats actually on ur pc like terminal or an app runs commands in terminal and compiles it for you. they can also download stuff for you. run stuff for you, etc.

Try telling a

That's why they aren't used even after this bulky development of AI

If you give them way much access like browsing using YOUR browser could lead to a security threat, but still AI needs password after all cuz most new web browsers requires to verify your windows password so there isn't really a big security threat
BUT..
They could potentially get to Windows registry and take the hashes of the pass (ya windows stores it in hex hashes)
but when they could compile and crack the code, welp you're not gonna let that happen, right?
