Ask HN: Will Log4j exploit be the end of Java? 1 points by hpen 4y ago ↗ HN Is this the end of Java or just a bump in the road?
[–] josephcsible 4y ago ↗ Why would it be? It could have happened in any programming language. [–] hpen 4y ago ↗ Totally agree. But it DID happen in Java. So, I was thinking some might be turned off from bad PR. [–] usrbinbash 4y ago ↗ Languages never die from bad PR.Languages die when no one uses them.There are only 2 kinds of programming languages: The ones people complain about, and the ones no one cares about. [–] hpen 4y ago ↗ Hey bro you should credit Bjarne with your little quote there [–] usrbinbash 4y ago ↗ I could have, if I knew that it was him who said it. Thanks for the info.

[–] ksec 4y ago ↗ I mean you could at least start with an argument as to why it is the end of Java.But as other have replied, no, it is not even a bump. I am not even sure why Log4J relate to the end of Java ecosystem. That is like saying heartbleed is the end of C. [–] hpen 4y ago ↗ Nah this is a genuine question from me.My friend (a Java programmer) brought up the idea, and I was curious.Also I read something on HN about it being the most wide spread and critical exploit of the decade.
