I've been programming for many years in MS technologies (C#) - Also done a few Linux and Mac apps using 'RealBasic' and recently an Android App using Android Studio/Java.
I'm now about to begin a brand new MAC OSX project and trying to decide what language to do it in.
Over the weekend I played around with
Java in Netbeans and it really is quick and easy. Source code fully portable between Windows and Mac and the packaged executable just as portable. Amazing.
But I'm kind of put off the idea of Java because Apple have stopped shipping Java with their OS. Looking at other platforms even google seem to be moving away from Java with their new ChromeOS.
If I had existing Java applications I'd be happy to keep maintaining them - I wouldn't be rushing to port them to some other technology.
But should I be starting a brand new project in Java today ?
Thanks for your input guys.
