Microsoft tries to kill it by promoting the totally equivalent and locked in C# IBM tries to kill the portability by using SWT instead of Swing (yes, Eclipse on Linux kind of falls apart, sometimes) Google... ahhh, they have GO, Kotlin, and whatever , just to get rid of Java and take people on locked in platform So, you are either paid (ok, understandable)  or do not know history and motivations A pity that you will value freedom once you have lost it
