Java is the face of this industry and isn't going to vanish no matter Java-haters pray.
However it is absolutely useful to walk in the other lands and discover (and eventually becoming a much more rounded developer).
You can learn Rails and enjoying the amazing JRuby (hence the trusted JVM).
Learn a functional language, Scala and Clojure (if you like the JVM camp) or Erlang/OCaml for example.
If your job is about web applications then take a serious look at Rails and Django frameworks.
And definitely there is nothing wrong with .NET (my favorite is F#) !

We're sorry, but your post appears to contain abbreviations that we don't like people to use at the Ranch. Because JavaRanch is an international forum, many of our members are not native English speakers. For that reason, it's important that we all try to write clear, standard English, and avoid abbreviations and SMS shortcuts. See here for more of an explanation. Thanks for understanding.
If the abbreviation occurs within code, you can use code tags to post it successfully.
The specific error message is: "r" is a silly English abbreviation; use "are" instead.

I was reading a lot of articles that Java has some rumors (Oracle,Google sue case), and some developers are getting ready to migrate from Java.
I actually don't believe that Java will go down that quick, but its good chance to ask the experts in here, if i want to go for another language, what languages are there and have good future? some people recommend Scala/lift, some ruby/rails. I think everyone has different point of view on which language would take the lead.
What do you think?
