I agree with the languages like Python and Ruby are slowly getting more market share. But, I feel, still the indian enterprises/big IT companies are not yet ready to adopt these web2.0 languages. They are struck with Java mainly because they've invested a lot of money in developing tools and infrastructure for Java language. well said.

We can consider this poll as being representative of the feelings of the day about Java. The first six reasons were then: 1. Applicability for the Web 2. Cross-Platform Capability 3. Safer than C++ 4. Hyped 5. Removes undesirable features from C++ 6. Free of charge tools However, in recent times, people have noticed several alternatives that satisfy (1,2 and 6). Python and Ruby are just two of them. Three and five can be rewritten together as "Java is easier to program than C++", and yet it has a C-like syntax, which many people like. Yet, the same tools that satisfy 1, 2 and 6 are actually easier to program than Java -for most programmers anyway. If we remove this very early reasons, what we are left with is (4) and the newly found knowledge of Java's hunger for resources Browsing about the reasons people think Java is popular, I came across

However, in recent times, people have noticed several alternatives that
satisfy (1,2 and 6). Python and Ruby are just two of them.

Three and five can be rewritten together as “Java is easier to program than C++”,
and yet it has a C-like syntax, which many people like. Yet, the same tools
that satisfy 1, 2 and 6 are actually easier to program than Java -for most
programmers anyway.

If we remove this very early reasons, what we are left with is (4) and the
