2 points by umen ↗ HN
I'm Java developer for many years , with the Latest things going on with Oracle and red hat and many other side story's going on with Java licensing. I'm really don't know what will be the future in the Enterprise and others does Java will be valid still in about 10 years ? What do you think ?

If you've focused solely on Java, you might consider diversifying. It will help you look at Java in a new light and likely improve your skill with it, but also make your career more flexible.

Take a look at Go. It's a very different experience than Java, but still statically compiled. The Go experience is very minimalist compared to the rococo experience of Java.

Take a look at Ruby, Python and Javascript. These are dynamically typed languages that challenge many of the orthodoxies of Java, and yet are very successful.
