What is the future of web development in Java?

Java is one of the few programming languages that not only survived but also dominated the market. This generic language is still the most widely used language by the biggest brands.

As a powerful, concurrent programming language, Java enables developers to run their code on multiple platforms without recompiling it. Currently, Java is reported to be used by over nine million developers to develop client-server web applications. During the official release of Java 8, Oracle called it “the most significant upgrade ever made to the Java programming model”. Oracle has even delayed the release of the most anticipated version of the programming language to accommodate current and future trends in web application development. The new features will surely help increase the popularity and market share of Java in the future.
