Its one of those jobs you hope you never have to do spitting out hundreds of web forms that require no technical thinking just brainless monotonous drone work. You will know when you are a code monkey.

I read elsewhere that Java is currently the most popular language at present.

Based on SO-survey (http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2015#tech) it's Javascript - maybe because all those "code monkeys" "programming" in jQuery now?

Java? As in C# Beta? :twisted:
Amen, what a disaster Ruby can be.
Yip, everything is going javascript even the backend stuff via nodejs etc.

On the UI side yes, add Angular-JS or something similar and you have a nice UI layer. But on the back C# is king.
Could be because Javascript is more like Java than ever. LOL

Obviously Java is better than C#. In the same line as JavaScript is better than Visual Basic. Also OS X is better than Windows and iOS substantially better than Android. And don't forget that PS4 is better than XBone.

C# is an unashamed copy of Java, which should be regarded as a complement, so proponents of C# shouldn't knock Java.

C# WAS a copy of Java, and in many ways it still is. But C# is merely a language you use to do cool things with the .NET framework, that is were the power is.

Real programmers have used emacs, vim, Python, Erlang, Prolog, Lisp and debugged C++ code on OS/2 via a COM-cable with a remote debugger (ah the days of IBM ICAT debugger)
Let me settle the programming language debate:

"Prolog, Lisp" <- These are the worst languages I have come across. Pointless and fubar, although they served their purpose perfectly when I encountered them - to frustrate a B.Tech student. COBOL on the other hand is a language I'm glad I did and even more happy I never have to do again, especially the old school flavour of Cobol 85 that I worked on. Lastly there is assembler and C++, and I'm talking proper OO C++, nothing teaches you the three basics of OO quite like C++ does.
Then you grow up and do C#

LISP is a language designed for a specific use - Language processing. That it does very well - I have used it. If olde COBOL was your game then LISP must have been very alien!
I never enjoyed Prolog, but it had a more complex function that could not be done by anything else.

I can see the use for reflective and logical paradigm languages such as LISP and Prolog, yet when confronted with a problem that could be solved with either one of them I would rather build an elaborate state machine in C# to solve it that bother with LISP or Prolog.
